Hello, Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor for posting your query. I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through. The condition you are suffering is called social phobia. This is a very common anxiety disorder and can be taken care of with medications/psychotherapies. Among the medicines paroxetine and Escitalopram are good medicines to cure it. Initially you may even consider taking propranolol 20\u00a0mg just before the stage performance. Also, cognitive behavioral therapy can help you. Hope I am able to answer your concerns. If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you. In future if you wish to contact me directly, you can use the below-mentioned link
