Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The symptoms of headache, dizziness, pressure/tension in too of head, and tingling in face, lips, neck can be related to diltiazem withdrawal.
The dose should be lowered gradually.
The symptoms will gradually fade as the system get used to the new dose of Diltiazem.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
