    Anxiety/OCD tic?

    I have Anxiety Disorder and OCD, recently I can't fight the urge to yawn, I constantly feel short of breath and like I have to yawn. You never realize how hard it is to make yourself yawn =/ Has anyone experienced this or know if this is normal? I've never had a tic like this before, I've done the counting, spelling, organizing sides of OCD, but never this.

    My ex-fiancee had OCD so while I don't consider myself an expert on the condition I picked up a lot on it when we were together (5 years total). It's possible that the yawning could be a tic. However, I'm not a medical expert. I don't have an OCD diagnosis but I have a "checking" issue that developed as a coping mechanism for my panic disorder.
