I began experiencing the same thing as you and I found a solution 2 years ago. You don't need to see a doctor, you don't need a mechanical keyboard, you don't need to reduce the amount of type you type.
The quickest thing you can do is stretch and massage your hands and wrists every once in while. Make your right hand go limp, put it in the palm of your left hand and use your fingers to gently massage and manipulate the various parts of your hand, then switch hands.
After that, what I would suggest is an ergonomic keyboard and mouse. The Microsoft Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 can be found for $40-60 online and is a great first step for ergonomic keyboarding. It took me about 2 weeks to get used to using this keyboard, but I credit it with removing much of my hand and wrist pain. I also started using a trackball mouse. With a trackball, you are not using your wrist at all, everything is driven by your thumb, and your hand is generously supported by the bulky mouse body.
