Not sure if it's related or why it's just the right hand, I am right hand dominant. Nice to know others are experiencing similar experiences.

I'd recommend focusing on the area of the tension during meditation and experimenting with different ways of thinking and moving energy through the body, especially around the area of the hand, in an effort to bring about relaxation and relieve the tension.
For example, you can tell yourself that the tension in your hand is relaxing on each in and out breath. Try to feel the muscles relaxing as you do this.
Another example would be to move your awareness from your heart center, down your arms and out through your hands during each breath. Moving awareness through the body is an effective method of stimulating the subtle energies in the body, and passing energy through a particular area of the body has shown to remove energy blocks and tension in that area.
Experiment until you find something that works. Meditation does not have to be a passive experience, despite what you may hear from some.
