Hello and thanks for posting,
Yes. letrozole can cause headaches.
There is information about letrozole and side effects on the website of the UK charity Breast Cancer Now
It may subside, as your body adjusts. Take simple painkillers such as paracetamol to help. If your headaches get worse, or persistent, then do let your GP or hospital team know. They can assess you and advise further.
I hope this helps,
