Why are my fingers swollen every morning when I wake up?

Question

Hye.
Issues that can contribute to the swelling include:
1. Dehydration or Not Enough Water Intake
2. Wrong sleeping Posture
3. Arthritis
4. Kidney Issues
5. Severe Allergies
6. Excessive intake of salty foods
7. Poor Diet
8. Overuse of Specific Joints
9. Injury
10. Some medications cause swelling in certain areas of the body as a side effect.
Treatment of Swollen Fingers in the Morning
If the hands and fingers are swollen try the following techniques to help with the issue and provide immediate relief:
Elevate hands above heart and hold for several minutes to an hour
Use ice, as it helps decrease swelling
Get the muscles moving and blood flowing in the hands. This can be done both by completing exercises of the hand and having someone massage your hands for you.
For people who have consistent swelling issues, their fingers can swell so significantly that they can no longer wear rings. If your fingers seem to be swelling and it is getting worse, remove rings at the first sign to avoid having to have the rings cut off to prevent further injury. When knuckles swell, they make it very difficult to remove a ring in the normal manner. Also, rings will need to be removed for treatment to occur, and treatment should be sought immediately if your hands are swelling more and more significantly.
Individuals with medical concerns should contact the doctor if their hands are swelling too often, as it requires treatment and can be the sign of something that could be very serious.
