Hello, and thanks for your question.

Swollen hands occurs because meth causes dilation of blood vessels. There is no solution here, other than to avoid meth use in the future, as meth use is highly dangerous and can cause not only swelling but heart attacks and stroke.

In the future, for continuity of care, I encourage you to contact me directly at my private web address below. After you ask a direct question, it would be my pleasure to be your dedicated personal physician on this website. My name is Dr. Sheppe, and I am an American doctor working in New York City at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, ranked #1 for Psychiatry in the United States (tinyurl.com/psyrank).
