What you are reporting is consistent with reports in the literature regarding adverse effects of hydroxyurea (chills and pain in chest). It is to be expected that adverse effects would increase as they are often dose-related.

It is very important to notify your provider of the side effects. it is also important to not allow yourself to be dismissed if you become more concerned about adverse effects. There are other options if you cannot tolerate HU or would simply prefer a medication with lower toxicity, It is up to you to make that decision.
