What Causes Persistent Neck Twitching And Animal Like Growling And Howling?
I have been having neck twitches for years now, always to the right if that is significant and I have recently been developing animal defensive behavior more akin to a dog or wolf including barring my teeth involuntarily, growling, and howling. I have also been getting a chill down my spine that seems to trigger these even more intensely. I have been tested for seizures and schizophrenia, and they say that I have neither and that all my symptoms are in my head. Is there something out there that I should ask my doctor about or to check for?

Hello,
* This sounds to be a psychiatric disorder rather than a physical issue.
* A detailed counselling with an expert psychiatrist is highly recommended.
Hope I have answered your query.
