Hand Swelling with COPD

Hi . I looked through our archives and did not find anything specifically about swelling in the hands. Here is a more general article about swelling that might interest you: https://copd.net/symptoms/swelling. I hope you get input from others in the community, but I would bring it up with your doctor regardless (if you haven't already), in case it's something unrelated that needs treatment. My own hands swell frequently ever since I gave birth to twins 18 years ago. My doctor suspects it's due to cell memory since I gained 25 pounds of water weight with them. I'm not entirely sure I believe that, but the swelling usually goes down if I drink something that contains electrolytes. I hope you get this figure out. Wishing you the best. - Lori (Team Member)
