What Causes Stress And Sweaty Hands And Feet While Talking To People?

I have a weird symptom. When i am always around people or talking to someone i tend to stress a lot, my nose close up so i start breathing from my mouth, my left side of my liver area hurt, my mouth dries out and my tongue turns white from dryness, sweaty hands and feet, pain on my left side of my chest and the worst, i emit moist like smell that offend everyone around me. I have been going through this cycle for the last 4 years, specifically when i go on public, I experience these symptoms. Usually when i am in home I never experience these symptoms.
Any thoughts of what i am suffering from?

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. From the given symptoms it is almost evident that you are suffering from social anxiety disorder or social phobia. Social anxiety disorder, also called social phobia, is an anxiety disorder in which a person has an excessive and unreasonable fear of social situations. Anxiety (intense nervousness) and self-consciousness arise from a fear of being closely watched, judged, and criticized by others.

A person with social anxiety disorder is afraid that he or she will make mistakes, look bad, and be embarrassed or humiliated in front of others. The fear may be made worse by a lack of social skills or experience in social situations. The anxiety can build into a panic attack. As a result of the fear, the person endures certain social situations in extreme distress or may avoid them altogether. In addition, people with social anxiety disorder often suffer "anticipatory" anxiety -- the fear of a situation before it even happens -- for days or weeks before the event. In many cases, the person is aware that the fear is unreasonable, yet is unable to overcome it.

For social anxiety disorder, the most effective treatment currently available is cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Medication may also be used to help ease the symptoms of social anxiety disorder so that CBT is more effective. please consult a psychiatrist / psychologist.
