Past year startdvshooting meth and i noticed when i wake my hands r sometimes swollan i only shoot up n my hands n arms why might this b circulation?

Toxic reactions: I believe you are causing local vasoconstrictive reactions which can result in swelling of the hands. This constriction can be in the venous return of the hands as well since the drug you are using is extremely powerful and can affect both arterial and venous returns.
