Creatine and nosebleeds??

[Matt76]

my roomate started taking creating monohydrate and "claims" he is getting nosebleeds. I haven't seen it, but this is what he is saying. Anyone heard of this??

 

[goes4ever]

that is wierd. I don't think Creatine raises blood presure

 

[hossjob]

That's absurd! People looking for an excuse for something to be harmful. The only thing that could be explained by this is if your roomate is susceptible to nose bleeds due to dryness and he's not drinking enough water with the creatine. The creatine will PULL water into muscles and could theoretically dry out other portions of the body, ie the nose causing a bleed, but I HIGHLY DOUBT IT! Where do you live? My guess is it's the change in baromatic pressure that many areas have been experiencing lately.

I live in central IL. I called bullshit to him too. I told him to just drink more water

Cehtral,IL, that explains it! hahaha the midwest is brutal this time of year. 75 one day, 40 the next, 80 the next, humid one day, dry as hell the next. Dude, it's the weather. Tell him he's insane!
