Suggest Medication For Anxiety And Stress Causing Increase In Heart Rate
Hi I'm 25 and a female ever since I can remember when I'm in a group meeting it's hard for me to speak. I'm not scared or nervous, I put myself in these situations to meet new people. But everytime I introduce myself and background my heart pounds, my eye feels like they twitch, I get jumpy, heart pounds, shallow breath what's wrong with me?

Hello
You most probably suffer from social anxiety.
I would suggest you to take tablet inderal 20mg half an hour before any of your public presentations.
Also, practice your presentations at your home in front of mirror prior hand.
This will instill confidence in you.
Donot take tea or coffee before any public appearances as they may increase anxiety.
Practice relaxation exercises like deep breathing and meditation regularly to keep your mind at ease.
Thanks.
