• Feeling side effects of theophylline after one dose

Started taking theophylline today for wheezing. 600mg once daily. Have only taken one but since have felt lightheaded and my heart rate has increased. I do not like the feeling.

Not sure why you are starting with such a medicine. Have you tried Ventoline Puffers first. It have less side effects and it is the first line treatment for Bronchial Asthma.
