Hello,
I had gone through your query and understand your concern.
Your symptoms are due to the drug which is used to dilate your pupil. These drugs are known to cause dizziness,headache, nausea, rised heartbeat when get absorbed into blood. Usually these symptoms will go away after some time when the effect of drug reduces.
However, if your symptoms are severe, I advice you to get emergency help as soon as possible.
Hope this helps.
If you have any other queries, feel free to ask.
