I have noticed tightness in my throat when I am standing at the sink washing dishes, and bending over to remove clothes from the dryer, or just looking straight down, and not until recently can I say that it is very likely the tamoxifen is the cause.

Thank you all, I am only 3 months on tamoxifen. I see it is not on the side effects list but I read a study was done that showed it was considered a possible side effect. Will keep an eye on it too. Seeing doctor in two weeks time.
