Hi,
First of all, the eye drop cannot cause headache or rapid heart rate. You must have an underlying disease, which can cause eye problems, headache and rapid heart rate. So, you should do some investigations such as ECG, CBC, measuring blood pressure and checking your eyes with an ophthalmologist. If all investigations were normal, you need a painkiller for headache.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
