I am a Type I Diabatic who wears an insulin pump. I take medications at night before bed. What would be causing severe hand swelling during sleep?

Hi

Which hand is bothering you?

Have you any pain?

Is the joints that are swelling or the hand itself?

How long is teh swelling taken to settle?

Reply to NurseElisa's Post: I take Neurontin, Lexapro, Yasmine, Dyazide, and Lisinopril. I take them all before bed. I have have been doing this for a long time but only in the last month and a half have I been swelling so bad. I've had fluid swelling in my feet and legs before but that has gone away because my blood sugars have been in good contol. This swelling is just puffiness, not fluid retention.

Hi

Your meds are are standard combination for the treatment of hypertension - i assume that you have regular blood tests already?

Is it both hands that swell?

Can I ask if you smoke or have a cough?
