Hi every morning i wake up my hands and fingers are swollen and they feel tight it has been happening for about 2 years what can this be

I don't have an answer for you, but it has been happening to me for about 2 months now. did you find anything out? My hands are fine through the day, but in the morning my hands and fingers are swollen and it takes awhile for me to be able to make a fist with my right hand.

If you haven't talked to your doctor about this, then you need to. Only a medical doctor can tell you for sure what is going on.

perhaps you were struck by something like a hammer while sleeping.

Does the swelling go when you move your fingers? maybe bad circulation water retention?

Best advice, Go see your family doctor!

Two things come to mind, food allergies and carpal tunnel syndrome. I have both, but I'm finding that the food allergies are causing the carpal tunnel. As long as I don't eat the things I'm allergic to, my hands don't swell and my circulation doesn't get cut off.

Do you ankles swell too? if so it could be water retention :)

Something similar happens to myself, but not everynight, it always seems to happen if I have been in a really deep sleep and woke suddenly, or even if I've woke normally but laid in a strange position. So maybe you are sleeping in an odd way? Do you put your hands underneath your pillow and lay on your front? As this seemed to make it worse for me. At first, I was really freaked out by it as I also used to get it in my feet along with really strong pins and needles, but now I try not to eat before bed (that seemed to make it worse) and sleep on my back with my arms by my bide, but I think I move alot in my sleep which obviously is uncontrollable! So yes, I wouldn't worry about it, I think its just one of those thing, however if it gets worse or other symptoms start surfacing, obviously seek medical help. Hope this is some help to you!
