The symptoms are suggestive of social anxiety/performance anxiety, especially because sweating and increased heartbeat occur before or during meetings, group discussions, and gatherings.
Treatment usually includes CBT (particularly exposure-based therapy) and, when required, an SSRI. For specific performance situations, a beta-blocker such as propranolol may sometimes help after checking BP, pulse, asthma and other contraindications.
If symptoms are frequent or causing significant avoidance, a proper psychiatric assessment is recommended.

This sounds like social/performance anxiety—your body’s alarm system gets activated before social situations, causing sweating and a faster heartbeat. It doesn’t necessarily mean something is wrong with your heart.
Try slow breathing and gradual exposure instead of avoiding these situations. Remind yourself: “I can feel anxious and still participate.”
