Anastrozole and Cholesterol

 Hi, I've not had this issue, but if I were you I would discuss with the GP, if nothing else but for your own peace of mind.  Best wishes 

Thankyou Irishgirl16 yes I'll try to get an appointment for a chat x

Hi Optimistic, I haven’t had this problem (to my knowledge!) but am also on Anastrozole. I never have reviews, even though the leaflet in the tablet box mentions that it may affect cholesterol for quite a high percentage of people. I asked my GP practice for a medication review a few months ago (after 3 and a half years on Anastrozole), eventually had a phone review with the practice pharmacist, had to push for blood tests! Had to phone for results and was simply told by receptionist that my blood sugar was normal and all other results were ‘satisfactory and required no further action’. I accepted this but afterwards wished I’d asked for the actual figures. Apparently ‘satisfactory’ can mean abnormal…. Even if a higher than normal result is due to the Anastrozole, I’d still want to know what the implications are. Maybe you could ask for an appointment to discuss it all in detail. I feel that we’re a bit fobbed off while on these drugs unless we make a fuss! It’s not really in my nature to do so but I’d rather know the full facts so that I can think about what I might try to do about it, and would also then think about getting specialist dietary advice. And without wishing to be rude about the nurse you spoke to, I’m not sure that nurses or GPs necessarily know that much about diet. 
Hope you get some answers, do let us know how you get on, love and hugs, HFxx 

Hi I'm just going through similar, i only started Anastrazole end April this year diagnosed Jan 2022 and was told that I should get BP and Cholesterol checked.  So over a couple of weeks surgery has checked BP and very high so now on tablets starting this week, review and BP with doc next week.  Cholesterol was 6.7 which is similar to what I've had over last few years so they aren't to worried at the moment doc said didn't want to give me another tablet yet if she could help it.  I did have to call my surgery and ask for tests and they hsve been great and also doing blood checks on liver and kidney, results next week.  Definitely worth having a chat with your GP. All the bext...
