I'm 19 and I've been taking creatine for over a year, sometimes with coffee. I only recently realized that the creatine had been giving me high blood pressure after every supplementation (presumably because of the larger volume of the blood due to retention of water). My blood pressure is otherwise normal. The other week I felt an abrupt burst of pressure from inside my head--is it possible that I could've had a silent stroke? I don't have anemia or SCD--just hypertension from the creatine.View Thread
