Symptoms of Glossophobia can be grouped under three primary categories: physical, verbal,
and non-verbal. Physical symptoms, the most overt one, include increased blood pressure
and heart beats, increased sweating tendency, stiffening of neck and upper back muscles
and dry mouth.
Some organizations, such as Toastmasters International, and training courses in public
speaking may help to reduce the fear to manageable levels. Self-help materials that
address public speaking are among the best-selling self-help topics.
