I’ve had a crush on my male best friend for 2 years, and we recently confirmed that our feelings are mutual. When we were just best friends, we used to be so comfortable around each other, but now that we’ve realized how we feel about each other, the atmosphere is awkward and suffocating. My heart beats so fast even if I see him approaching me at a distance, and whenever I open my mouth I say dumb stuff (I used to be so witty and fun around him in the past). It’s the first time I’ve ever been like this, and I have no idea why. What should I do?

This is common. How much time are you spending together? It normally goes away as you get more comfortable.
FWIW I don’t like declaring your feelings for this very reason. If you are in a similar situation, ask them out on what is obviously a date and go from there.
