Hi, I'm 18 years old I've been suffering from constant grunting I've been doing this for 6yearsish. I'm on Concerta for my ADHD. I don't know that I'm doing it sometimes but it just feels like there's something always in my throat and I grunt to clear it but there's nothing there? it's embarrassing for me when I go to the cinema or when the room is silent
and now it's starting to get on my parents nerves when they're trying to watch something. Does anyone know why I grunt constantly? it's repetitive. Is it a tic or?
It could be a tic. My son has motor tics and he says that he has a strange sensation the precipitates his need to tic, then when he tics, it makes the sensation go away. He can avoid doing it for a period of time, but avoiding it makes a feeling of tension build up that is very uncomfortable for him. Does this sound familiar to you?
Have you asked your doctor about it?
