Creatine high blood pressure

[level2ff]

I've heard that creatine highers your blood pressure, and every time I checked my blood pressure (about twice every day) my blood pressure was always above 120 and ocasionally it would be above 140. Should I get off of creatine, or should I try doing cardio or drinking more water?

Drink more water and what was the other number?

 

[Fella Finn]

Was it elevated or not?
And creatine should not cause any major changes in blood pressure even when doing the loading thing as far as I know.

if you use too much mono it can bloat you and cause higher bp but that is quite a reach.

Sounds like something else is going on. Drinking more water and doing more cardio is always advisable.

Creatine shouldn't be doing that at all. Drink more water, watch your electrolyte balance, and control your diet
