Back in the old days, I had a corporate job that had me make presentations. And before that - the presentations in college.
At the time - this was almost terrifying for me - and I would struggle. The first thing was that my heart rate would rise, then I would become aware of that - and get in to almost a panic situation. It was a physiological response of fight or flight.
It was debilitating.
If you are anything like this - I would like to recommend something called Propanolol. It is a medication that is a beta blocker - and is used for people with heartbeat fluctuations. In laymans terms - it doesnt let your heart rate get over normal, which stops the cycle I describe above.
In my own experience - this was a miracle for me. Take one 20mg pill an hour before a presentation - and I was good to go. It changed my life in college and allowed me to perform in my professional career as well.
I am much older now - and give presentations often for a charitable organization I am on the board of. I dont even need propanalol anymore - but I remember when I relied on it like it was life or death.
If you have any questions - feel free to ask. I know I have helped many people in my real life with this tip, and there are lots of people out there that suffer from this type of social anxiety.
