Why do my fingers swell after I work out?

This is actually fairly common. When you work out your body increases the blood flow to your heart and lungs, which decreases blood flow to other parts of the body especially your hands. Your hand get cold and the vessels open wider to try to compensate for the lack of blood, causing them to swell. It's nothing to worry about and happens to a lot of people when exercising.
