Side effects of Letrozole and Exmestane
Hi all, I started taking Exmestane in October for six weeks and started getting issues with my heart rate being very low 35bpm dizziness extreme fatigue etc. Thank you, apple watch, for the tracking....

So sorry to see you here, joining the group no-one ever thought they'd have to join! Feel free to fill us in a bit more of your story ... if you put your 'general location' on your profile - we may have members nearby who may be able to meet up for a coffee & chat further down the line. xx
I started on Letrozole back in mid 2018 & hated it - I only lasted 6 weeks on it, then swapped to Exemestane & lasted 6 months before changing to Anastrozole & I've been on it about 4 years now & going 'ok'! Maybe mention that one to your Onc? It could be worth a try. Tamoxifen is the only one I haven't tried!
Like you, I suddenly developed a heart 'issue' about 18 months ago - with the slowing down & 'KERTHUNK' thumping that really frightened me ..... I saw the cardiologist & there was no damage & am now just on half a beta blocker a day that keeps it under control. It is annoying tho, that the meds we are put onto to help reduce out chance of recurrence, give us ANOTHER issue that needs another lot of meds! grrrr.
Take care & all the best xx
