Stop taking the medication. Call your prescribing Physician immediately. Reports your side effects. Physician may want to titrate the dose or substitute a different medication.

You describe a not-uncommon adverse effect of Sumatriptan. Since there are now numerous medications useful in aborting migraine headaches, there is no reason not to switch your medication. Discuss options with your doctor.
