I've had these ticks for (seemingly) my whole life - I honestly can't remember when I didn't. My "current" tick is in my neck, where I kind of extend my muscles out - it distorts my face a bit, though I try to hide it, but it makes me feel much more comfortable until the next few seconds when the next tick appears.
Is there any serious health issue that could be the cause of this? Can this lead to any serious health issue?
Ive tried controlling them myself, but I give up. I need help! I'm a freak!
Please, only serious responses only...

The cause of tics is unknown but is thought to be stress. Tics usually go away on their own in time, which can range from a few weeks to several months. Tics are common in children and teens but usually not present in adulthood.
If you do recreational drugs, you may want to consider abstaining from their use as they have a tendency to aggravate tics, particularly stimulant drugs.
Tics do not lead to any health issues but, as an adult, a tic may be a symptom of a disorder. If your tic bothers you tremendously or persists into adulthood (you don't mention your age), please see a doctor.
