Hi!
Arimidex lowers body’s estrogen levels and hence is effective in estrogen dependent breast cancers. However, lowering of estrogen increases the risk of heart and cardiovascular diseases. Hence a woman becomes more susceptible to high blood pressure, deep vein thrombosis, angina and heart attack. Do discuss this with your doctor. Take care!

The medical advice given should not be considered a substitute for medical care provided by a doctor who can examine you. The advice may not be completely correct for you as the doctor cannot examine you and does not know your complete medical history. Hence this reply to your post should only be considered as a guiding line and you must consult your doctor at the earliest for your medical problem.
