Well, I talked it over with my bf. The way he explained it seemed like how my hands would get during basketball practice (The kind of practice where you ran so much you begged your teammates to cut off your legs 
). My hands would get puffy and hard to get into a first sometimes and it was always a weird feeling.
So you're lifting, which is exercising, and what happens is that you're body redirects your blood to your hands to circulate the exercising muscles. Then you hands get cold so your body works double time to circulate your hands to make them more warm which sometimes leads to swelling.

Whoops, I missed a huge chunk when I was spell checking it.
They say do arm circles or make your hands into an occasional fist here and there during exercise, or in your case work-- although arm circles would look pretty funny. Try these things out, if they don't improve then yeah, I'd run it by a doctor just in case and if its really bothering you.
