A member asked:
My hands swell occasionally, like when i get excited or hot.. during exercise and even after dancing for 10 mins. should i be worried? can not see doc

Do not worry: This is not a serious symptom. Swollen eyes or feet are more problematic. The swelling from the dilation of your vessels is a normal way for your body to regulate your body temperature.

Common issue: Not to worry unless swelling severe or doesn't go away fairly quickly. Try elevating hands for 20 mins to see if goes away faster!
