Possible motor tic: Involuntary movements are considered tics. Some tics are caused by medication, some can occur with stress/anxiety, and some can just hapoen. You do need a visit to your pediatrician to make sure no other unusual neurologic symptoms are present. These can be very subtle at times, so a very thorough neurological exam is definitely in order. If fine, these may be nothing - work with your doctor
