Hi all

After my first BCG last week, I had a bit of a headache and felt rather tired the next day but otherwise ok. This week a repeat except approx. 48 hrs later (appx 8pm last night) heart rate elevated (80-90 average) bpm and I'm normally 60-70. Overnight poor sleep, feeling hot and lowest resting heart rate was 78 - normally 58, lot of aching  No stinging etc on urine passing. I did have a steroid injection yesterday morning for hip bursitis but Urology nurses said that would be ok as no contra indications.

I'm probably overthinking it but most posts seem to say side effects are worse on the day/ next day?
