Katrina, which aromatase inhibitor are you taking? Do you have a history of headaches or migraines?

I am taking Anastrozole and yes I have had a history of headaches and ocular migraines but I was concerned that for many days after I began this medication I had ocular migraines that lasted for many hours. Luckily I have not had any for a couple of days. Ten years ago I had a mini stroke after a long bout of ocular migraines so I was worried. I was curious if the migraines had anything to do with this drug or if it was just a coincidence. Katrina123
