Has retatrutide pushed anyone's blood pressure up?

Most of us know about the heart rate bump on retatrutide. Mine is up about 5 bpm, and my dose is just 1.5 mg. What I haven't seen discussed much is blood pressure. It used to average around 117/72 and now it sits near 130/85 most days. I'm 6'2", 188 lb, roughly 20 percent body fat, in the gym four times a week and otherwise healthy. I love what it does to food noise, so this catches me off guard. Work stress has been heavy lately, so I can't tell whether that is the cause or whether it's the reta. On top of that I use a peptide blend at 2.67 mg per day, which I mention in case it matters. Has anyone tracked their readings and seen a similar jump? Did it settle after a few weeks, or did you end up adjusting the dose or talking to your doctor?
 
My BP started running 140/85 or above once my BMI reached 31 or 32, and that pushed me to try Reta. My pulse rose at first but seems normal again, though I havent done a 24hr monitor. BP fell faster than my weight did. Now at a BMI around 26, my under-120/80 numbers are probably just better overall health.
 
That sounds normal to me. Reta commonly shifts heart rate and HRV. Only lately did I hear that blood pressure can move too, the HR/HRV side I've known about for ages, and it doesn't seem to hit many people. Mine had already been running too low, so when somebody said reta can bring it down, I took note.
