Does muscle mass effect high blood pressure?!
Question: Does muscle mass effect high blood pressure?
Im in football and lifting weights, taking protein and creatine, and gaining muscle mass. I am trying to loose fat because i have high blood pressure and i know fat is a factor in high blood pressure. Should i stop taking my supplements so i don't gain as much muscle. Will the muscle raise or lower my blood pressure?

What I have read is that muscle mass helps the body use up calories even when you are inactive, thereby helping to control weight. And overweight might cause high BP.
