Just wondering if anyone else has noticed this...

The past year or so, I've noticed that many mornings I wake up with slightly swollen hands and ankles. My rings are tight (I often take them off for a couple of hours in the morning) and if I had socks on at night, I have sock=marks on my ankles.

I never noticed this when I was younger.. is it possibly a peri-menopause symptom? I'm 43 and haven't noticed anything else changing yet. Or could it just be water retention from too much salt/too little water? Does that come out more strongly overnight?

Any and all advice appreciated!

yep, I get this too. I notice that when I get up and start moving it goes away. Even gently messaging the area helps.

Also, make sure you are cutting the sodium in your diet. Do you read food labels? If not, make sure you eat low sodium, this helps alot!!!!

I don't have any advice for you, but you're not alone. Ever since I was little my upper lip swells while I'm sleeping. No clue why...I just consider it an instant overnight lip make over haha!

By mid morning it's always back to normal *shrugs* go figure...

Drink more water, even if it means you have to get up to pee in the night. See how it goes after that.
