        <title>Creatine and atrial fibrillation</title>
        <description> Gentlefolk,

I train at a gym regularly each week and supplement occasionally with creatine though not heavily continuously. I just bought a new big jar and somehow something came up about creatine supplementation involvement with atrial fibrillation.

I looked it up in more detail and there is lots of material connecting the two.

I suggest anyone taking creatine look at the information and any comments would be informative.

Thanks

            <description><![CDATA[ I used to pump heavy iron and used many forms of creatine for about 12 years. Man the stuff really worked and  I could pound some serious weight but then afib reared its ugly head and stopped a few years back when I read the connection.<br />
Natale also warned me to stop the heavy workouts as he also sees many damaged hearts from heavy weightlifters with valve issues, fibrosis, afib etc....<br />

            <description><![CDATA[ Creatine can effect alot of different things, I noticed a difference in erections with it. I think you are wise to discontinue anything suspicious.  The proper functioning of the Heart is the biggest performance booster in the Gym.]]></description>

I haven&#039;t noticed side effects In the past I have never been a big user and recently even less so.<br />
<br />
I will discontinue rather than look at my just purchased large jar suspiciously.<br />
<br />
I&#039;ll give it to a young body building friend.<br />

            <description><![CDATA[ Alex - it&#039;s known that unpleasant side effects of high dose creatine supplementation include nausea, diarrhea, cramps and bloating from the waste metabolite that forms (creatinine)... and speaks directly to your question on the General Forum about alkalinity.     Do a Google search on side effects of creatine.     Stomach and gut irritation could certainly be a trigger for Afib.  Do you feel any water accumulation?<br />
