Arimidex and hives?

Have any of you had any problems with taking Arimidex and breaking out in hives? I've been taking it since early December, and I've been having hives on and off almost every day. It's not like all over, just 2-3 different hives in different spots everyday. I've never had problems with this before, and the Arimidex is the only new drug I've been taking. At first I thought maybe its mosquito bites, but it's been consistant everyday, and I live in Michigan......we don't have mosquitos now! I thought I had spider bites a couple of weeks ago, and they turned out to be shingles. But these are way different than the shingle bumps. If this continues, I guess I'll have to call my doctor. But first I want to see if this is a common side effect!
