I started Letrozole 6 days ago. Day after I had a really bad headache & nausea. A bit better the following day but couldn’t sleep. On 4th day the headache was bad again & BP a bit raised. Slightly higher yesterday & today even higher. Just to check my machine wasn’t faulty, I asked my pharmacist to check it.. At that point it was even higher so I rang my BCN and she’s stopped the Letrozole. I’m having surgery in 12 days so I’m giving it a miss until after & then try a different med. I’m disappointed because I’ve usually been quite tolerant of medications, but I dare say cancer throws a few curve balls at you.
