I'll make this post short and sweet and really hoping to get advice and any suggestions from people who have experienced similar scenarios.

I'm usually very calm and anxious at times. But what makes me the most anxious is something I experienced yesterday.

Working from home, there are loads of online meetings. Meetings where I need to speak make me extra anxious. Something as simple and easy as introducing myself (my name, job, fun fact, etc) to a brand new team yesterday had my heart beating super fast and stomach feeling upset. When I knew my turn to introduce myself was coming in a few seconds, i made several efforts to take deep breaths but still, I couldn't control my breathing, I was shaking abnormally, and when I spoke, my voice was cracking.

I hate feeling like this. This always happens to me. I can talk to strangers fine but when it comes to speaking to multiple people or "presenting" when everyone is focused on you, gets me heavy breathing.

Is this typical in an anxious person? Anyone have suggestions on how to remedy this, any medication, etc?
