I usually get off rather easily with that one, though oddly it's one of those things I've learned to detect in me rather well. Just the racing heart, blushing and sweaty palms/all over actually.
There are rare times when fast/shallow breaths, choking feeling and the strong need to run away comes , but thats rare enough that i haven't truly figured out what migh be the exact cause, i assume it's just people.
Just pushing through and afterwards giving it time for the heart rate to slow down is enough to dissipate it.
