Exemestane side effects

The recurring comments about acid reflux are interesting, as someone who already had real problems with this I felt that worsening symptoms were a progression of the original problem.
I am now considering that Anastrozole may be behind this and will raise this with my oncologist.
I also feel that Gastroenterologists are often not that conversant with the crossover effects of this time of cancer therapy.

Yes, I have increased acid reflux for sure from Exemestane.
And I developed acid reflux at menopause as it's a common menopausal condition. Which makes one think that there must be some kind of direct link of decreased estrogen to the development of acid reflux(?)
Let us know what you find out!

I received various comments from different doctors about the connection but a nurse whose opinion I respect said it was a definite side effect she’s seen. And from reading comments here and in another support group I attend it seems to be a real side effect.
