I am on Evista for 3 months now. My T scores were hip 2.8 and spine 3.8. I have crohns disease, acid reflux and had a mastectomy for "ductal cancer in suto" DCIS last Aug. They took me off HRT and this year my bone density bottomed out. I have been taking 3 ultra Tums with meals all along as calcium tabs bother my stomach.
I can simpathize with you guys. I am not sure if the Evista is bothering me or not. I am having mega palpatations. As I am sort of prone to them I first didn't give it a thought as being related to the Evista as it is not listed as a side effect but even Protonix for the reflux gave me palpitations.

Also, I am on Prevacid in the AM and 2 Zantac at night for the reflux and stomach gastritis (had an upper endoscopy) and it was working and now that I am on the Evista I find it is not working so good any more. I even had a terrible sore throat and tightness in the lower throat. PCP sent me to ENT who looked down there with a probe and said it was definitely acid reflux and could give you tightness and even a cough. Could be related to Evista????? My doctor's office is not friendly - the "receptionist doctor" said if I think I am having a reaction go to your PCP and have her go to the endocronologist for answers.

I think I need another doctor. In the meantime, I guess I just palpitate away. It is not just when exercising on treadmill, it happens all the time even when resting. I know my heart is OK as PCP just did an EKG and blood tests and enzymes are all OK.
