I've been taking Theophylline 100mg ER Tablets for about six months now to manage my COPD. At first, I was really nervous because I had heard about the potential side effects, but my doctor assured me that regular blood tests would keep me safe. I've had a few minor issues like trouble sleeping and a persistent headache, but nothing too bad. I'm curious if anyone else has had similar experiences or any tips for dealing with the side effects. On the plus side, my breathing has definitely improved. Also, how important are these blood tests really? Are there any long-term risks I should be aware of?
