Specializes in Clinical Psychology

Red hands: w/exercise. This MAY be due to blood flow in that area triggered by the changes you mention. Please see doctor to make sure all is well. Peace and good health. Biofeedback practitioners purposely raise hand temp. to help shunt blood flow there to relieve migraines.
