A member asked:

Why do my hands feels puffy and swollen after going for a walk?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Puffy hands: Hand swelling during exercise is a fairly common problem. The cause isn't completely clear, but hand swelling appears to be a result of the way your body and blood vessels respond to the increased energy demands of your muscles during exercise.
