Lots of people get stage fright. You can't really treat it other than practicing a lot and finding ways to calm yourself down. Remember, no one will care unless you look nervous.

Stress caused by anxiety is the main reason for that. You feel anxious when you stand in front of the public- that is a very common and natural reaction from any person. You need to try to get used of dealing with the public, try to improve your self confidence. When you give speech, always practice what you have to say and know your lines. If you feel you might get lost of what to say, or you are not sure of what to say that is the main reason of increasing the intensity of your anxiety. Knowing well what you need to know is the most important thing to have self confidence. Never think that people might reject what you will say. Learn relaxation techniques to calm yourself when facing the public. Deep breathing is the easiest thing you can do. Another tip, find something to look on while talking, do not look directly to the eyes of the audience while talking until you resolved your public anxiety.

When you are stressed your body goes into "fight or flight" mode and releases adrenaline. This puts you on edge (ready to run or even punch someone), drives up your heart rate, makes you feel hot, etc. There are probably a variety of drugs than can decrease these symptoms but what would do a lot more good is reducing the stress that causes them. You could try practicing your speech beforehand to give you confidence, using mental imagery to convince yourself your speech will be well received, try meditation techniques and breathing control to calm yourself before speaking, or even go for a run or other cardio exercise earlier on the day you speak in order to "burn off" some adrenaline.
Hopefully one of those options works for you. Good luck!

It's nerves. You may be able to get some medication from your doctor. I would advise 1. if you are in school, try to sign up for a speech class. I took one in high school and I was much better by the end of it. It really helped me in college and my professional life, because I had practiced giving speeches and was no longer nervous. 2. If you are out of school, see if there is a Toastmasters organization in your area. This organization is devoted to the art of giving speeches, and members of the group would be able to help you boost your confidence so the heart palpatations do not keep happening every time you have to speak in public.

You get nervous because of anxiety.. The adrenaline level in ur body rises, which causes ur heart to pump faster, and hence, blood flows faster.. as a result, u turn red as blood is juz a fine layer underneath ur skin..
Soln: practice makes perfect!! hahaha!! Allow urself to be in these situations more often so tt u will get used to the environment and thence, will further reduce ur anxiety rate.
Medication is one of the solns too.. but too much of med is not gd for health.

adrenaline!!! Its one of the most simple and powerful hormones we have. Its the fight or flight one produced on top of the kidneys that gets us ready in stressful situations to stand and fight or run in flight.
It causes heart to race (in preparation to "do sometihng" , blood rushes to the skin and muscles etc.....
In response to public speaking...remember people rate this hte NUMBER 1 FEAR of all...even above DEATH!!!!!!
I am a teacher......i am used to talking in front of students...no prob.....but I had an interview yesterday where I had to give a 3 minute presentation to my interviewers!!!! STRESS!!!!
This is a much different situation for me.
Ways I helped is to BE PREPARED...if you know it inside out and back to front (your topic that is as well a your actual speech) you feel more confident (i had to stop in the middle of a presentation at university because I relaised I did not know enough to talk....severely embarrasing....although I had an excuse, the flu. I had been in bed for days prior and was too ill to prepare much!!!)
Take a deep breath. Sometimes its looking people in the eye that makes it worse, so I look just above the heads. That way you are looking at them, but not looking AT THEM!
I find I also have to "detach" myself. That is...say I have to do this. I want it to be good. I need to stand back and ignore the embarrassment for a couple of minutes. Once I do that, I start to enjoy talking about my topic more (as I am not thinking...is this ok? What does he/she think? Do I look ok etc) I make sure I feel like I enjoy my topic, so its makes it better to listen to.
practice helps....the more you do speeches the better it is...try something like toastmasters or something if you wolud like to do that more

Anxiety - wonderful thing
Anxiety is good in small amounts helps one to be productive. However, too much anxiety stops a person from completing anything - the "fight or flight" response
It really helps to use relaxation exercises
Deep Breaths
Meditation
Yoga
Good Luck

i began out out fearful via public conversing, in extreme college. once I did it some cases, it have been given lots much less frightening. Now I honestly have spoken to huge crowds and actually enjoyed it, by way of fact I knew i replaced into telling the human beings reliable preparation. you purely might desire to do it. besides the incontrovertible fact that it enables in case you practice incredibly nicely. Get a topic rely, like "important life-instructions i've got found out"--merely one opportunities. Write down all your techniques. in case you could desire to, do a touch study to get greater, or some reliable fees. Then define all of it, your important techniques. And practice by myself, conversing outloud. attempt to establish (your mattress room, for example) equivalent to the place you;ll be conversing, in case you could. Then practice giving the speech, as many cases as you could stand. till finally you could especially much do it quickly. this would possibly not eliminate all worry, besides the incontrovertible fact that it would help lots. Then merely supply the speech, mutually with your define.

Because your legs are telling it they need more oxygen so they can run home and hide.
Every time you speak, it gets easier. But it never gets as easy as hiding.
The people want to know what you have to say; you have to want the people to know what you have to say. Then just step up and take the opportunity to say it.

Your heat beats strongly because you are scared. That is called "stage fright". Most everyone has that to some degree. Just know that you can feel the fear, but do it anyway.
