Motor or Vocal

[ccc]

I was wondering if anyone had dealt with this type of tic before. My son has a tic that sounds like a deep hic-up which I have always thought of as a vocal tic. That has been his main tic now for 4-5 months and it is several times a minute. But last night I was holding him in my lap and I could feel his stomach contracting every time he made the sound. He said it does not hurt but looks like it would. He also ends up taking in so much air that he burps alot. So I was wondering if this would be considered a motor or vocal tic. I feel like this is such a strange tic so if anyone has any advice please let me know. This board has been a life saver for me. It helps to know I am not alone.

hi ccc

my son has had a similar tic to what you describe

 

some of his TS tics have both vocal and motor components and I have always classified that one as one of those
