This is normal: The symptoms you describe are your body's normal response to a situation that invokes the "fight or flight" response. You can use an anti-antiperspirant, which will help with the perspiration and odor, but the best treatment is to find out why those situations cause you to be anxious and flustered. Psychotherapy might help a lot.
