Hello & welcome to HCM,
I had gone through the case and i found this habit is due to Iron deficiency.so go iron, ferritin ,trbc and hemoglobin blood test along with also test for Vitamin B12.Most of vegetarian have vitamin b12 deficiency.After diagnosis take iron tablet.This habit will go off.So do not worry, Hope my advice will be help full for you.
Thanks & Regards:
