Dear Ask The Doctor: I need to know how to stop being afraid of people looking at me, i am a shy person, but i have been out of work for a year since i finished my course. 3or 4 months ago i started shaking my head when with a lot peole and i get hot, like when i go mass and i suppose i have been in the dumps a bit but i am overcoming this, please help me i need to be able to controle my head shaking, it also happens when i eat in the refectory with more people, thanks. Dear Maria: I do understand that your symptoms are aggravated during times to stress. What you have describe to me suggest that you may be suffering from what is known as transient motor tics. What brings about these movements is not known but some believe there may be a genetic aspect to the abnormal movements. Usually these movements tend to resolve on their own and may not need treatment. If you feel that these movements are interfering with your daily activities then I suggest you visit you family doctor for further investigation. Your doctor may do neurophysical and imaging studies to differentiate the causes of the head movements. |
