Hi,
Thanks for the query.
I understand your concern. Head ache,dizziness and tiredness could be side effects of Depo Provera.
Rapid pulse and blurred vision are not known to be the side effects of Depo. Rapid pulse rate could be due to psychological tension because of the side effects. Rapid heart rate could be out of nervousness /heart problem.
This needs to be evaluated.
Take Care
