@colleenyoung no previous problems. The oncologist suggests I speak with my cardiologist. Cardio tells me they are not concerned with the readings. I’m trying to determine if the low BP is related to my BCG treatments. Oncologist has not confirmed that it is.

@dks2500, you might ask about a referral to the specialty called cardio-oncology.

Major cancer centers, like Mayo Clinic, offer expertise in addressing heart problems (called cardio-oncology), potential or current issues. At Mayo, the Cardio-Oncology Clinic (https://www.mayoclinic.org/departments-centers/cardio-oncology-clinic/overview/ovc-20442193) evaluates people prior to cancer treatment and patients who have experienced side effects due their treatment.

Might they have such a specialty at your cancer center?
