Should Nortryptiline Be Stopped Due To Flushed Feeling In Head And Neck?

I have been taking 25mg of nortryptiline daily since 9/4,2013 and I have started noticing flushed feelings of warmth up my head and neck...also tingly feelings that can run up and down my legs,arms and even the top of my head. This has been happening when I am sitting still or even lying in bed. I also noticed that my tongue feels thick at the back and my jaw seems uncomfortable. Several times this week I have experienced tunnel vision and felt like I was going to pass out. I am hoping that these are side effects and not the reoccurrence of migraine presenting differently. I usually have vision problems preceding a migraine and fluctuation of blood pressure. My doctor is hour and a half away ai university of Iowa hospitals so not too easy to get to. Should I stop the nortryptiline?
