I have been taking an Anastrozole since thanks. I have not had heart palpitations but everything else. Joint pain, exhaustion headaches diarrhea, can’t sleep and now I have a trigger thumb. I’m not sure what I’m going to do next. I’m on a two week break from the pill and then I see my oncologist next week and we are going to discuss other options. She mentioned the drug you’re on how is your joint pain and Other side effects.

I used to be on a different drug. I think it was anastrozole but I did experience joint pains. My doctor told me to start taking glucosame/chondroitin (which also has turmeric & MSM) which I did and the pains disappeared. However, at the same time she changed me to exemestane. But I'm continuing the glucosame/chondroitin because it can't hurt. Exemestane is supposed to suppress estrogen and put one into menopause (either your first or second). So the symptoms of menopause do include heart palpations. But now they want me to go get my heart checked.
