My right hand and arm often is off the bed when i sleep and my right hand is extremely swollen when i wake up like this is something wrong?

Arm swollen sleep on: No you are most likely observing the effects of gravity on fluid accumulation in the dependent arm which does not move when you sleep and gravity never sleeps. Or you may be blocking off the blood and lymph drainage from your arm and it swells. I trust you have not had any surgery on your right arm, been broken or had breast CA surgery on R. We can chat if you need more help.
