Letrozole and Adcal D3

I am 4 yrs post mastectomy taking Letrozole and Adcal d3.   I know they both can cause various side effects including bloating and indigestion.   Some nights when lying flat in bed I get the feeling of a tight band around my ribs.  It can last for hrs and is so uncomfortable.   Does anyone else have these side effects?

  • Hi there and thanks for posting

    I am sorry to hear about the symptoms you are having. As you say medications and supplements can cause side effects and affect each person in different ways. This is the same with Letrazole and Colecalciferol (Ad cal).

    It is important if you haven't already to speak to your doctor about this as well. The pain at night around your rib cage may well be linked to the indigestion/heart burn as this can worsten when lying down. But can also be caused by things such as muscle or ligament pain and things like costochondritis that you can read about on the NHS web pages.

    Others on here may share their stories with you but it is also important to see your doctor as well about this so they can assess you as well.

    I hope things improve for you soon.

    Best wishes
