Re: Swollen Hands
Do you have a heart condition that you know of? If you do it could be caused by fluid retention due to poor cardiac output. Also, a lot of people without a heart condition can have this. At night when we sleep our heart rates drop and fluids are circulated and distributed less efficiently.
This is just an alternative suggestion. I have not been diagnosed with anything as of yet. I am waiting to see the rheumy on Thursday, but I too wake up with red swollen hands. I believe some of it is probably fluid and the other is due to my joints.
Hope someone else can better answer your question.
