Just wondering what are these tics?

hello, I've had OCD for as long as i can remember, and I've also had various tics at least since I was about 13/14. I'm 25 now. I've never had these tics looked at before, I can supress the most obvious ones for most of the day so that makes them easier to hide and I guess they are too embaressing to mention to people. In public, I tend to fidget all the time, and I am constantly picking at my lips, shaking my legs, clenching my butt muscles, crunching my toes, and tapping things with my fingers and occasionally jerking or shaking my head, none of which i have much control of and none of which i feel are related to OCD. When I get away from people, I let the other ones out, which some are doing strange movements with my tongue, or clicking my jaw, or making strange noises. these ones are more intense and are worse when my OCD is stressing me out, and tend to get in the way of my compulsions and i have to try to stop them in order to finish whatever compulsion im trying to finish. Anyway as I said I've never had these tics looked at so I'm just wondering what it is?
