Lately I've been noticing that my hands (mainly my fingers) have been swelling up at night. They get so swollen that I have to take my wedding ring off and then can barely get it back on in the morning. Usually by mid-morning they are back down to normal size. What could possibly be causing this? My husband says it might be dehydration. Is he right?

Do you sleep with your hands hanging off the side of the bed? That will do it.

We can all speculate of course but in between getting advise and going to the Dr. You should drink plenty of water with apple cider vinegar. I had a swelling problem and I measured one gallon with one cup of cider vinegar and drank it all through the night and by morning the swelling was down. Now I wouldn't do this every night, I would make an appointment at the Doc's

It's probably related to the level of sodium in you body (too much salt), it could also be due to certain medications you are taking. Do you have high blood pressure or are taking Prednisone? Are both hands swelling equally? Is your head elevated enough? I suggest you speak with your Physician or Pharmacist.

Your husband has it backwards. You are retaining fluids. Used to have the same problem plus my ankles would swell. Could be salt like some people say but I believe mine may have been associated with birth control pills. When I got off of them the problem went away.

Circulatory changes. Generally, everybody's hands are larger in the morning than in the evening. If the degree of change in size changes significantly, it means your circulatory rhythm has also changed. Look at your diet and consult your physician about improving cardiovascular health. Early intervention can slow or even halt the onset of many progressive cardiovascular diseases.

This could be caused by your body retaining water, a simple diarectic will cure this problem in no time. Always see your doctor, for proper diagnosis.

Lower your salt intake and ask your dr for a script for somethink like Lasix to get rid of your excess watter.
