I wrote that in 2024. I had no heart issues before exemestane. Long story short.. in 2021 or 2022 i went to the ER. I was told i had either had passed a blood clot or had an arterial spasm. Cardiologist didnt know. He asked me if exemestane was a prothrombotic. I didnt know.
I took myself off exemestane because i didnt know what caused the heart episode neither did the docs.

Since April2025, im now back on exemestane.
However, since my heart episode in 2021/22, i immediately got off coffee and caffine.
Ive not had any heart incidents to attribute to exemestane but now, I do have afib randomly, but that started PRIOR to me going back on exemestane.
