Does Imitrex Cause Dizziness And Weakness In The Arms?

Hi. I was prescribed Imitrex for migraine and took it for the first time about two hours ago. I ve been feeling lightheaded and my arms are weak. Resting pulse seems harder/faster than usual. I feel slightly drunk . Is this normal for Imitrex, or am I having a reaction?
