Dizziness possible causes - Letrozole

Hi

I have been taking Letrozole for about 2 months. Only recently I have experienced dizziness. At its worse I am having to stay seated. What can be advised if it is the drug causing this symptom. 

Thanks

  • Hi Tiedee and thanks for your post,

    I am sorry to hear that you are experiencing dizziness. Unfortunately it is a known side effect of letrozole. If it continues do go and see your GP. You should also avoid driving if it continues. The dizziness may settle down over the next few weeks but if it continues your GP may consider putting you on another hormone drug.

    It may also be a good idea to have your blood pressure checked and a full blood count to rule out any other causes.

    Breast Cancer Now has produced a list of Letrozole side effects.

    I do hope that things get better for you.

    If you would like to talk this through with one of the nurses on the helpline then you are welcome to give us a call. The number to ring is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm.

    All the best,
