This is a really weird one. I’ve been on letrozole for about a year now, previously took tamoxifen for 5 years with no side effects. I’ve recently started having suspected angina attacks. I’ve got no history of heart problems, am 53, fit, eat healthy and have never smoked. This has come entirely out of the blue. The GP has referred me for sone tests so hopefully the medics will get to the bottom of whatever is causing it, and it probably has got nothing to do with the letrozole, but I just wondered if anybody had experienced anything like this while taking it.
