    This happens to me when I walk long distances. As someone said earlier, I just thought it was from the force of swinging my arms and forcing blood/fluid down to my hands.

    I find that if I clench my fists a bit it relieves it temporarily, and then when I get home it goes away.


    Next time it happens, just try stopping for 30 seconds and putting your hands on your head (or up in the air if you don't mind looking a little silly)

    Very common...happens when I walk but not when I run. I think it's because my hands just dangle down by my side. If I raise my hands above my heart for awhile it helps so I think it's blood pooling in my hands. When I run, I keep my hands up about chest high and move my arms so think that's why it doesn't happen when I run.
