Frequent Hand Movements

My 10 year old son had a burning sensation in is index/thumbs for about a week.  In monitoring that I notice that he keeps moving his hands and touching his fingers together.  He has been twirling his hair, biting his nails for years now.  This hand movement is new.  I am afraid that it is like Tourettes or something. Is there something I can do? He has had some anger/stress issues in the past . I don't know if that helps.
