Hyperreflexia is an exaggerated reflex response to a stimulus, usually seen as an increased muscle contraction. It is often accompanied by a clonus, which is a series of rapid, rhythmic muscular contractions. It can be caused by damage to the central nervous system, such as a stroke, or a spinal cord injury. It can also be caused by certain medications, such as antidepressants or anticonvulsants. Symptoms may include increased muscle tone, spasms, and jerking of the limbs. It is important to seek medical attention if hyperreflexia is suspected.
