Concerned about the side effects of anastrozole

I have been taking this only 2 months.. 1 mg daily. About 3 weeks ago I woke up with pounding sound in my right ear. I never had that before, sounding like a pulse sound. Is this a side effect? I have had no other issues with the drug and the sound has not come back again. I had an echo cardiogram and that showed normal activity.

Hello @suejer0731. Glad to hear that the pounding sound went away and that your echo cardiogram was normal. How long did the pounding sound last?

About an hour.. then never came back.. just curious if that was from drug as I have had no other side effects.

That happens to me. I don't think it is a big deal. If you have a sustained beating in your ear it can be a vascular issue so you would want that checked out. It can be a form of tinnitus that can be addressed. Do you have any other kind of tinnitus?
