Hi guys, anyone in here dealing with metastatic invasive ductal carcinoma? And side effects from anastrozole and Verzenio? I get lightheaded and dizzy at random times, my heart races and I’ll break out into sweats. Can anyone relate?

These side effects can be really challenging to manage while dealing with treatment. Many people in this community have shared similar experiences with these medications, and it's important to discuss these symptoms with your healthcare team since they can help determine the best way to address them. You're not alone in experiencing these effects, and connecting with others here who understand what you're going through can provide valuable support and insights.

I got light headed from the anastrazole in the beginning. It's not as bad now that I'm 9 months in. But I also am very careful when standing up to try to avoid it. I also break out into sweats often and get hot flashes from the anastrazole. My integrative oncology program has acupuncture that seems to be helping with these.
