swelling in the morning, normal?

QueSeraSera · Jan 26th, 2010, 11:38 AM

quick question...probably not a big deal but just curious. every morning when i wake up lately my fingers are really swollen. like my wedding ring almost hurts my finger because its so tight....and usually its loose!

i cant imagine that im dehydrated because i am constantly thirsty throughout the day and on a normal day i drink about four 32oz water bottles throughout the day. any idea if this is normal? a way to remedy it?

thanks ladies!

hi i get this when i have allergies. different reactions to different things. mostly when i have cold allergies my hands swell. or when i go to the supermarket and touch the groceries my hands swell. This comes and goes though. im just glad that this is gone for now. and it just happened out of the blue as well when I reached 27.

I don't know if its normal but it happened to me a few weeks ago, and I actually tried everything to get my ring off and we had to cut it off. So I would take off your ring, if I were you.

Try to cut back on salty foods. It sounds like possible water retention. It gets worse if you are feeling hot too. Drink lots, but avoid too much salt.

terrie0617: wow thats pretty intense that you had to cut your ring off! my swelling usually goes down after i get up and around and start drinking more water. but maybe ill start looking into a bigger replacement ring to be wearing during the pregnancy. i certainly dont want to have to get it cut off! thanks for the advice!

JASMAK: come to think of it, i havent really been watching my sodium intake too well the past couple of weeks and ive been craving almonds. so i bet the salt is the problem! i will try to cut back on it and continue drinking the water! thanks for the input!
