A member asked:

My 15year old has started having rapid blinking that causes his head to have a jerking motion what can this be?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Rapid Blinking : This is a "tic" also known a s a "movement disorder:" http://www.Merckmanuals.Com/home/brain_spinal_cord_and_nerve_disorders/movement_disorders/tics.Html. This could be due to a number of causes, including tourette's syndrome. Make an appointment for your son with a neurologist to get it evaluated.
