human
Hi I have the same issue as below: I'm a software engineer and suffering fromhi doc, I'm a software engineer and suffering from generalized/social anxiety. I feel the symptoms like trembling, heart-beats getting faster, anxiety, difficulty to breathe/speak, etc. in the following situations: 1. in a meeting/conference (there is constant fear that i'll be asked something/judged for my actions. my mind is literally blank when i'm actually asked a question) 2. when meeting/introduced to new people 3. when known friends gather (eg. birthday celeb, picnic, etc.) 4. when i'm asked to come on stage 5. when i'm in a meeting and asked a question or asked to make a presentation (even when i'm dead sure about the answer/solution). what surprises me the most is that as soon as the situation is over, i feel normal almost instantly and there is a feeling of tremendous relaxation. I would be very grateful if you could provide a solution to this problem which is causing havoc in my personal and professional life.

The anxiety only in social situations can be managed by taking tablet propranolol half an hour before you have social presentation or meeting. Ensure that you do not have asthma or diabetes before taking propranolol.
