Brief Answer:
Should not be a problem

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone carefully through your query which is rather a statement. I want to know what specifically you seek to know from me. I assume that as long as you do not get chest pains or any other complaints, it would be just fine to continue with your workout and creatine intake.

Let me know if I could help further.
