Hey everyone, I have no clear answer as to what my thing is, I have been searching for years and when I think I found out what it could be, I do further research and find out it's not. I developed it when I was in the 6th grade, im almost 30 now.
I get involuntary head jerks and occasionally head shakes. My head 99.9% of time jerks to the right. It happens the most often in public but still happens when I am by myself with no one else around but not as often (certainly several times a day). Sometimes I know when it's coming because my body tenses up and I feel something else too, its hard to describe it but then after enough tension my head jerks and sometimes I get a really nasty big jerk to the right, those are obviously the most embarrassing. After the jerk my body is relaxed again. My last really big head jerk was last Tuesday when a presenter in our class was looking at me and using me as one of his examples, tension built up and then not too long after my head jerked, I was extremely embarrassed after that, so much so that I didn't want to look around the classroom at my classmates or teacher and I was sweating.
It doesn't jerk every second or minute but I get jerks throughout the day and they happen more often in public. Most of the time just one jerk happens (then after a certain amount of time, which varies, another single jerk happens), rarely do several happen within a matter of seconds.
Could my head jerking be a tic disorder?
I do get tense in public too.
