I have only just started taking Letrozole and am experiencing quite a lot of giddiness and balance problems. It is particularly bad lying down, so much so that at my radiotherapy planning appointment on Tuesday, the radiologist had to help me off the scanner and then help me put my bra back on as I was all over the place with a swimming head. I think it quite alarmed her.
I have had the occasional vestibular migraine and had awful vertigo following the surgery in September (due to the GA) but that went off after two weeks so wondered if anyone else has had giddiness and/or balance problems on Letrozole or whether I need to have it investigated separately.
I’m interested to see this thread as I’ve also been suffering from giddiness and balance issues but assumed it was unrelated.
During chemo Oct 2021 I had my first ever migraine and ever since I’ve suffered from what I believe are ocular migraines (not so much pain as visual issues lasting approx 45 mins, sometimes followed by headache). Optician checked and saw nothing of concern to cause it, so I’m left to guess…
I also will lose my balance (fall to one side or bump into things) and have felt quite often light headed or as if my feet aren’t quite on the floor. Coming up to my one year anniversary of finishing chemo I have been hoping it will go completely but I still feel off balance. I am on Zoladex and Letrozole. Have mentioned to various doctors who don’t make much of it, I was referred to neurologist to see if it’s an inner ear infection, my appointment is September 2023 (referred in August 2021!).
Have either of you found anything that helps alleviate the feeling of unbalance?
