A member asked:
Can brisk reflexes all tendon groups (symmetric) with 2-3 beats of clonus bilaterally be normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not feasible to interpret your reflexes in absence of clinically correlative symptoms. Did you discuss this with your doctor at the time of exam? Were you highly anxious, do you have hyperthyroidism, were you taking medication or using recreational drugs such as meth?? We need a lot more information to be accurate.
