Be mindful: If your blood pressures are in these ranges consistently when resting(as in not after sprinting or right after working out hard) then you need to review this with a healthcare provider. Creatine supplementation may possible worsen blood pressure numbers but it's not a strong association. Even with true hypertension it would like be years before it would affect your kidneys. Best of luck
