WHAT IS GOING ON WITH ME

I am presently a first semester sutdent at an engg collage.
It was at my  7th  standard that i  noticed  a  problem .
     One  morning when i was given a  piece  article to be read in my school  assembly something  unfortunate happened. I loss the control of my body while  i was reading specially my  hands ,legs and
tounge . i could not read a single word. It seemed  to look as epilepsy but i didn't fall or i didn't need the help of a bunch of keys  nor   my mouths were watering  as that of an epilepsy patient.I gained my control  in  a  few  seconds.THIS IS MAINLY SEEMED TO BE HAPPENING  WHEN I  MAKE A  MOVE  SUDDENLY.
SPECIALLY WHEN I HAVE FEAR IN MY MIND. MY  HANDS AND LEGS ALSO GET STIFFENED AN IT GOES
TOTALLY OUT OF MY CONTROL.

I tried once more after a few days but failed miserably .After that i became a funny character in the whole school.
Then i changed my school  . It repeated  when i was writing exams also.

I went to a doctor but he gave me  some  vitamin and iron tablets
and pointed some  domestic causes such as not having my food in time ,having fear,less sleep etc. ALTHOUGH IT IS TRUE  AT RARE OCCASIONS BUT NOT ALWAYS.

TILL NOW THE  SAME THING IS BEING HAPPENING.
SPECIALLY  WHEN. It occurs more in winter seasons

1. when i move suddenly of anything.
2. when  i  am excited .

i have  not  gone under any treatment.
if you have any remedy  for  me then please  help me.
ATLEAST CAN YOU TELL WHAT IS THE DISEASE?

I am not quite sure, but it sounds like you are experiencing very intense anxiety. Could you try and explain your symptoms a little more?

You mentioned this happening while you were about to speak publicly at an assembly.  Your legs and arms buckled and you couldn't speak.. It really does sound like anxiety.

When you feel excited or when you move suddenly you also feel your limbs buckling and the inability to speak, right? Please clarify as this sounds a little strange.
