You are definitely not alone in this! Once a month, I have to get up in Church and make a small presentation at the beginning of the service. I have learned that I really need to focus on my breathing before its my turn to go up, or else I end up very short of breath and gasping for air, and I get dizzy and it spirals down from there.

I also have a tendency to mix up my words....like I will end a phrase with a word that makes sense, but not the one that I wanted. Like once, I was trying to say "around the world" and instead I said "around the room" and other stupid things like that.

But the good news is, the more times that you do it, the more comfortable you get.
