Why are your hands swollen when you walk for exercise?

Swelling of the hands during walking exercises can be due to both physiological and pathologic reasons.
Physiological causes are due to the drooping position of the hand when walking, and because the arm swings back and forth when walking, which will increase the pressure in the veins, making it difficult for the veins to return, which will lead to an increase in venous permeability, and the liquid in the veins will leak out, accumulating in the tissue interstitial space and leading to the edema of the hand.
With this condition, elevation of the limb as well as movement of the arm usually results in increased venous return, thus reducing the symptoms of edema.
Pathologic conditions are often seen in nephritis, nephrotic syndrome, right heart failure, cirrhosis, hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, malnutrition, connective tissue diseases and other conditions.
It is recommended to actively go to the hospital to check the blood routine, urine routine, liver function, thyroid function, heart function, cardiac ultrasound, etc., if there is any problem, it is recommended to actively go to the corresponding department to deal with the symptomatic treatment, to prevent delays in the condition caused by irreversible consequences.
Walking exercise hand swelling, and frequent, long unrelieved patients are recommended to consult a doctor in a timely manner, under the guidance of a doctor to clarify the causes, targeted treatment.
