Can someone get anxiety when he didn't have before????please help

[NewGuy]

Ok so i think i am pretty social person when the need arise i can deal with people put on a good show and i good joke i had pretty good presentation skills and i could talk with people i didn't know very easily.
it was actually part of my last position that i had to present for for people 3 times i week or so and i delivered sessions also both technical and non-technical before

every thing sounds good and all but here's where things get rather weird i couple of weeks before we had a business pitch which was kinda important and i was given the job of actually pitching it and i utterly fucked it up (its alright it happens to every one sometimes we are only human ) and i though that it was behind me not problems

but today we had like a company meeting (about 60 people or so) and i was asked for my input on a subject(company culture and what not) and just when i was going to answer i had something that feels suspiciously like a panic attack it felt like my vision was going into tunnel vision i head was like it was being pulled from all sides and my stomach cramped and i barley said part of the input and when i sat down i felt heavy like i just ran a marathon

and then i begin thinking and i found my self that in the last couple of weeks i didn't get out of the house except for work and i felt out of place in the last social gathering going to the corners of the room (i never did that before) not to mention that i have been mood swings feeling down for no reason

i am really really really sacred my lively hood actually centers around managing and speaking to people while pitching ideas and delivering relevant sessions to the different teams and i work with strangers 90% of the time and know i have to put effort to even speak to a little crowd

.p.s.i used to feel anxiety when i had a big game when i was little (i trained in karate *black belt*) and it was the cause of more than one defeat

Please Help me if you can!!!

Hello there it sounds to my like its anxiety
It maybe because you was under a bit of stress
I had mine for years but mine will
Become a lot worse when I'm under stress even if I don't feel that stressed.
This forum is so amazing and has so many great people and advice so welcome
Your not alone in this,take care of yourself and don't be so hard on yourself if your having a crapy day,things will get better

Thank you very much for your kind post but i really don't know what to do now as in my country its not common to seek help for things like that and i can't freeze every time i speak to a crowd because well i will lose my job and that is a rational fear its a competitive business with high pay and the don't generally give a damn about employees
is there like a technique to help maybe something like conditioning(i did that to over come my height phobia years ago )

Yes it can defiantly come randomly even if u never had it before. It could be a change in your life that caused it. Personally, for me my psychiatrist said the issues i was having were due to adjustment issues.
