TRIGGER WARNING FOR PEOPLE THAT HAVE ALSO OCD, TOURETTE SYNDROME AND/OR ANXIETY Hello Guys, this may sound silly to some. But i have OCD and Tourette Syndrome. And i'm sometimes forced to do things that i don't even want to do at all. For example, as a kid i had the compulsive thought that i "need to unlock my jaw" by opening my mouth repeatedly as far as i could. I was terrified that someday i will able to be succesful, but it never happened. Something similar happend to me now, that i'm 30 years old, and it is driving me insane and i just don't know what to do. So i just found out recently, that people can die from pushing to much while they are pooping. My ***** OCD brain kicked in, and since then i have the scary urge, to build pressure in my stomache/colon area... you know.. like when you are pooping. And i'm terrified that like something will snap from this and i just day instantly. This has to be my most scary intrusive thought. I had other self harming tics and stuff like that, like biting my lip open, but nothing seemed to be actually dangerous for me. But i feel like this time, it maybe really is. And i just can't make it stop. I usually deal pretty good with my OCD and my tics. But i just don't know what to do with this. Can anyone help me calm down, is this really dangerous for me, and if yes, has someone ANY idea how i can make this stop as soon as possible? P.s. In an desperate attempt to calm me down by reassuring me, that this is in fact not dangerous. I stumbled over the Wikipedia Artikel for the "valsalva manoeuvre" and now i'm honestly about to freak out, because i can't think of anything else, that this is going to end my life. I'm 30 Years old and male, i never felt so lost before. I feel like there is absolutely no information to be found in google that could calm me down.
if you are a young physically healthy person, the odds of dying from Valsalva maneuver is very low. The people who have a higher risk would be those who have coronary heart disease, a congenital heart defect or other heart conditions. also those who are older, obese, smoke, hypertension and diabetes. but in general the vast majority of people do well.
Thank you so much for your reply 
Sadly i have a “few” health problems, beside my tics and anxiety. I’m also “addicted” to Suboxone and Diazepam, while addicted is probably the wrong word, because i always took them in therapeutic doses, but my body needs them to function now. I’m withdrawing the Diazepam right now, which turns all my problems to 12 (tics and anxiety are very extreme, even for my standards). I’m 30 Years old but also a smoker. And i’m not eating very healthy. I had many ECGs in the last 5 years, and they where all okay. I really hope this means i’m probably safe. What’s really absurd is, my tics would stop the second, if i found out that it is not dangerous at all, or the risk is so tiny, that it is not actually a risk. It is so frustrating, i wish i could just turn off all those tics.
This tic really feels different to all other tics i had in my life, because the danger (even if only slightly) seems to be actually real this time.
