You need to go for the basic check up by a Physician.

Afterwards he will definitely have to run a battery of tests on you to get the diagnostic clarification of the cause.
Reasons may be the deficiency of mineral salts like Calcium which is needed for proper muscle functioning in body. Other tests may include but not limited to vitamin D, B12, Magnesium and sodium levels in serum, Thyroid and Parathyroid glands status, Liver and Kidney function tests etc.
Treatment goes accordingly.

Brief Answer:
It is just a diagnostic test to see if there is low calcium in blood !!!
Detailed Answer:
Welcome back with a follow up query and I am glad to help you out for the medical concerns you have. I will extend some explanations to clear the doubts you have.
Trousseau's sign is a Physical test to see if there is low calcium in the body. It is carried out in the office of a Physician. It is painless, and takes a few seconds to minutes to complete the test on the arm and hand by using a blood pressure apparatus cuff around the arm.
Your Doctor will help you out for the same when you will go for the check up as aforementioned.
