Hyperreflexia Anyone???

Well I just got home from my six months check up and as far as I can tell things are progressing pretty normally considering. However, when the doctor checked my reflexes I really kicked. When I got home, I found a diagnosis of hyperreflexia. Of course I googled and it sounds really serious, but she didn't even mention it. Any one else have this. Says it is a sign of spinal injury???

All kinds of things that can cause that at this point, could even be something that makes any person more reflexive on one day than even the next. One check wouldn’t necessarily mean that. If it were to become ongoing problem and causing major interference with daily life and didn’t go away, then worth neurology follow up.
