The causes of feeling swollen hands after exercise include physiological factors, muscle strain, and nerve compression.
1. Physiological factors: after exercise, the heart rate increases and blood flow becomes faster. If the arterial blood reaches the distal end of the limb, the venous blood cannot transport the blood back to the heart, thus it may cause local congestion and swelling. After sufficient rest, the muscles relax, the heart rate decreases, and the swelling can be eliminated.
2. Muscle strain: If there is muscle strain or localized strain on both hands, swelling may also occur.
3. Nerve compression: If you suffer from cervical spondylosis, the cervical disc protrudes backward and compresses the corresponding nerves, your hands may feel swollen and numb after exercise.
Therefore, if the swelling of the hands does not recover within a short period of time after exercise, it is recommended to go to the hospital for examination in a timely manner and follow the doctor’s advice to choose the appropriate treatment measures.
