 I think more likely a reed or an embochure problem.  Lots of things can make a reed flat in the upper registers (opening too large, too much out of the back behind the heart, heart too thin).  Try using your L hand to exert the slightest bit of downward pressure on your lower lip to bring the pitch up a bit.  If the opening is large, gently squeezing the throat of the reed can help.
 
 I am sure others on the board will have suggestions too . . .
