Public speaking/presentation anxiety

Hello Doctors, I am 27 years old working in IT. I have public speaking anxiety disorder since long time. Sometimes, i manage through it for initial few minutes but sometimes, it becomes so extreme that i get fully shaky, faster heartbeat, and feels like something is choking in throat region. It generally happens in the initial 3-4 minutes and then, settles down. Today also, it happened during presentation and i was sensing everything and audience also noticed shaky voice and one colleague mentioned that my voice was like about to cry. When i took a break for a 5 sec, i felt relaxed and continued further without anxiety. Lot of people in forum advises taking propranol beta blockers but i don't find that as a solution to this problem and may become dependent on it. Please advise me what i should do. It will be much helpful. Thank you.

Propranolol for society anxiety event

Hi, I have society anxiety. I am able to express/present in online situations or in one to one situations but whenever i have to present/express in a group my anxiety peaks, heart rates increases rapidly, my thoughts start to blank, my voice amplitude drops (like something makes my throat choke), uncontrollable twiches happen on face and hands, some sweating too, words start to fumble. This has made my professional and personal life soo tough. I am trying to improve by reading self help books, meditation, yoga etc. Somewhat its improving but no where near under control. I don't know if its physical issue or psychological. I have a big presentation in few days, I researched and found Propranolol 10 or 20mg could help in the event. Is it fine to take for the event and how can i get it? Also any suggestions or path for long term solution. Thanks

Facing Multiple problems one by one

I initially experienced palpitations and consulted a cardiologist, who prescribed Concorvas 5 mg and Wellras. After about five months, I developed chest discomfort, which improved after digestion, so I visited a gastroenterologist. I was prescribed Sompraz and Meva-C, and my symptoms improved. However, for the past five days, I have been having disturbing dreams, poor sleep, morning headaches, dizziness, and anxiety. I revisited the cardiologist, who added Nexito Plus. Despite taking medications, I feel like my symptoms keep changing rather than resolving completely. I am unsure whether this is due to anxiety, medication side effects, or an underlying issue, and I am concerned about why I am not fully recovering.

Hiv risk after fnac test

"I have a small cyst in my testis, doctor did FNAC. Before my test, the doctor had done FNAC on another woman patient, and the doctor didn't change gloves before testing me. There was some blood-like substance on the gloves, and I am not sure whether the needle was changed or not. I'm worried about HIV. I live in a mess with friends and I want to leave the mess and go home to my village to stay with my family. But after yesterday's FNAC test, I'm scared of HIV. I don't want to go home because I'm afraid I might infect my family. Do I have any risk of HIV in this situation? If there is any risk, what should I do?

Feeling triggered and anxious at home

Hi, I’ve been struggling emotionally with my mom. Since I was young, she often shared her personal problems and trauma with me, almost like I was her emotional support. Now, whenever she shouts or goes on long rants (even if it’s not directed at me) I feel extremely overwhelmed. I start crying, cover my ears, and feel anxious and scared. I’m not sure if these are panic attacks. It also triggers me when she talks to my younger brother the same way, because I’m afraid he’ll feel like I did growing up, unworthy and insecure. I feel guilty for feeling this way because I know she’s stressed and doesn’t have anyone to talk to, but it’s becoming too much for me to handle. How can I cope with this, and what should I do in this situation?

Productivity issues, unresolved trauma

I cannot seem to focus on getting important things done - I get distracted by other things or start contemplating about random things to avoid working on it. I'm very lazy and I procrastinate a lot. I have unresolved trauma which is affecting all of my relationships. I'm not sure if it's exactly paranoia but feels like I'm paranoid about certain things. I've started to hate myself again. Sleep issues I'm actively trying to escape reality I have almost given up on life.
