Raised cholesterol - Arimidex?
 

My blood cholesterol level has gone up since I've been on Arimidex, and I was wondering if this has happened to anyone here? What can I do about it, if it isn't diet related, but also, is there a good resource that someone could tell me about, to look up a good cholesterol-lowering diet? I think I eat quite well, lots of salads, olive oil, tomatoes, not much meat etc. Would exercise and de-stressing activities like yoga help?

Increased cholesterol can be a side effect for some women on Arimidex. Lipitor can be prescribed. I am not sure a diet change helps this out.


I have heard that Aromosin does not have this side effect but if you have this side effect with Arimidex, you will with Femara as well.

My sister is on Femara and experienced a jump in cholesterol. She is now taking Lipitor.
