Breast Cancer, Ringing In Ears, Dizziness, Hot Flushes, Flu. Taking Tamoxifen. Finished Radiation. Is This Normal?

I recently started taking Tamoxifen for the treatment of breast cancer. I am experiencing, ringing in the ears, dizziness, and a heat that runs through my body as though I have over dressed, but not as bad as flushes. I have absolutely no energy but I have also finished 6 weeks of radiation, then a bout of the flu. When am I going to feel better.?????

Hi, it appears that the symptoms are due to the aftr symptoms of the flu , may be due to the infection of the internal ear.
