An increase in tumor size or appearance of new tumors
Signs of an allergic reaction, including an unexplained rash, hives, itching, and unexplained swelling.

Some of these rare side effects include, but are not limited to:

Confusion
Indigestion or heartburn
Infections
A sore throat
An irritated or runny nose
Unusual sensations, such as burning or tingling (paresthesias)

Urinary tract infections (bladder infections or UTIs).

Final Thoughts

It is possible that you may experience some or none of the Aromasin side effects listed in this article. Unfortunately, there is no way for your healthcare provider to know beforehand if you will have side effects from a medicine that you have never tried. Therefore, make sure to let your healthcare provider know if you develop any side effects while taking Aromasin. Also, let your healthcare provider know if you develop something that "just does not seem right." While it may not be a side effect, your healthcare provider will be able to diagnose and treat the problem.
