HealthBoards - View Single Post - Another symptom...not sure if I may have Tourette's

One symptom I've been dealing with a lot lately is the urge to scream, grunt or say random words loudly in quiet public places. Its like I'm challenging myself. I feel this pressure in my throat like I have to do it. And I know the only way to get rid of it is if I do what I'm thinking.

If I feel the need to grunt, then the pressure won't go away if I clear my throat. Or if I have the feeling to scream, it won't go away by grunting...

I haven't been diagnosed with anything because I haven't seen the neurologist yet. Could this be Tourette's?
