Well the symptoms that I have are:
1. very apprehensive about speaking in meetings. my hands becom very cold and my heart beats very fast. Sometimes I am not even able to speak or speak incoherent rubbish.
2. very concious about people around. If I am aware of someone watching me my hands tremble. I am not able to use a restroom if someone is around.
3. I am very diffident ( not confident).I am intimidated when I am talking to a person who is more qualified than me or some important person. I am also not able to speak when I get in a heated arguement.
4. I sleep well but find it tough to go to sleep if there is even the slightest disturbance. I cannot focus and have poor concentration. I also bite my nails.

I do not have the problems in speech when I am talking to friends or family.
