Carpopedal spasm after inflating a BP cuff (Trousseau's sign) and a positive Chvostek's sign are the classic signs of hypocalcemia. Phenytoin can contribute by lowering vitamin D activity.
- Hypercalcemia causes bones, stones, groans and psychiatric symptoms, not tetany.
- Hyperkalemia does not produce these signs.
