Hi Azza. I get that too when I wear my full fingered gloves that dont have gell pads on the heel of the hands.
Also it could be that you are leaning too heavily on your hands. Try moving your saddle forward a bit this will make you sit upright a bit more and take some of the pressure off your hands. Distance from front of saddle to handlebar should be the lentgh from elbow to finger tip plus 4-5cm.
Good luck
Buster
