Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hello and thanks for your query.

I understand that you are going through a difficult time due to your problems. From the description of your symptoms, it appears that you are suffering from Social Anxiety Disorder.

All the symptoms that you have described such as trembling, sweaty palms, nausea, vomiting, etc. are all anxiety-related. Even the nausea and throwing up are physical manifestations of anxiety.

Since your problem is quite disabling, I would suggest that you seek professional help. There are effective treatment options in the form of medication or psychological therapy which can help you overcome your problems. So, please consult a psychiatrist for a detailed evaluation and further treatment.

Regards,
Dr. Jonas Sundarakumar
