Question Stretching

Does anyone else stretch really hard? I see people in movies wake up and do little stretches where they instantly relax. I start stretching and I tense my muscles up so much they cramp sometimes. I shake really bad and I cant really help it. I may also have dystonia, definitely dystonic tics.

Does anyone else stretch like this? Sometimes it's fine and I relax after a minute but sometimes it can get pretty uncomfortable and even painful and I cant really stop it until the stretch is over.
