About swelling of fingers

Hello!

This article is about swelling of fingers.

Many people feel that their feet and face are swollen, but have you ever felt that your fingers are swollen?

I feel it quite often.

In my case, they are swollen when I wake up in the morning 😢

First thing in the morning, I can't get my ring to go through my finger...

Then, after I exercise. not only during vigorous exercise, but also when I go out and walk a lot and my body heats up,

I can feel my fingers swollen.

Then, in the summer. When it's hot, water is retained, so my rings can feel a little tight.

Did you relate to any of this?

There are several things that are generally said to cause finger swelling.

・The rainy season and summer season (some people have a constitution that causes swelling in the winter)

It is said that high humidity causes water to be retained in the body, making it easier for swelling to occur.

・After drinking alcohol or the day after drinking alcohol

It is said that consuming alcohol causes blood vessels to expand,

making it easier for water to accumulate, which leads to swelling.

・In the morning, right after waking up

There is a strong image that swelling is more likely to occur in the evening, but

the time when swelling in the fingers is most likely to occur is right after waking up in the morning.

This is related to blood circulation.

When you sleep at night, you don't sleep standing up, right?

You sleep on your side, right?

When you lie down, your body is at about the same height as your heart.

When you stand on your head, the blood rises to your head and your face turns red, right?

The amount of blood carried varies depending on how high or low your heart is,

but when the height is the same, the amount of blood and water carried from the heart increases, making you more likely to swell.

・ In the evening

In fact, it's the feet that are most likely to swell in the evening, but some people experience swelling all over.

When this happens, your fingers will also swell.

The time of day depends on your constitution and each individual, but depending on your daily lifestyle, some people are more likely to swell in the evening than in the morning.

・During Pregnancy

Some people may find that they are more susceptible to swelling after becoming pregnant.

Swelling varies, but I recommend removing it.

Not all pregnant women experience swelling, but by the time you notice that your swelling has gotten worse, you may find that you can't remove your ring or that it's so full it hurts so much you feel like the blood will stop...

It's too late by then, so I tell them this.

In addition to the commonly known causes of swelling, there are many other factors that cause swelling.

It varies from person to person, so it's a good idea to know when you are more likely to get swelling.

Don't try to force yourself to take your ring off when you are swollen, but wait until the swelling subsides before taking it off.
