A member asked:

I get so many tics/tic attacks at night. do i have tourettes?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not feasible to provide any specific answer, based upon nocturnal "tic attacks at night", as Tourette's symptoms would occur during the day, and involves additional symptoms. You could consider an overnight sleep study, but we could explore this in much more thorough fashion via a virtual consult here at HT (www.connect@healthtap.com)
