A 40-year-old female complains of insomnia, which began after she started taking medication for her asthma. She is currently taking theophylline. What could be the potential cause of her insomnia, and what steps can be taken to address it?
The patient's insomnia might be related to her medication, theophylline, which is known to cause sleep disturbances. It would be worth considering whether her asthma can be adequately managed with alternative medications that do not disrupt sleep. The patient should consult with her healthcare provider to discuss possible adjustments to her medication regimen.
