On some mornings i wake up with slightly swollen hands. i drink a lot of fluids but have little salt and urinate frequently. what could cause this?

Swollen hands: Sometimes this is due to positions of hands during sleep--being trapped under your body etc. Try to keep your hands free of pressure and see if that helps stop the swelling.
