Hi.
Nortriptyline is used for treatment of depression, post-herpetic neuralgia (pain that can occur after the shingles), ADHD, smoking discontinuation, etc. So I am assuming one of these conditions is most likely the cause for your head pressure and it is but mandatory for you to report to your doctor again for an elaborate evaluation.
Best wishes.
