See your doctor: There are very few instances when there is an association between the eyes' function and the heart and breathing. If you press on the eye too hard or for too long, it can cause the heart to slow down. It is possible that if you are squeezing the eyes hard and then open them, the heart starts beating faster. This should be evlauated by your doctor to rule out other conditions.

Not your eyes: This problem is not originating from your eyes. If you have repeated episodes where your heart beats fast it could be bouts of atrial fibrillation or another abnormal heart beat. You should seek medical care from your primary care physician.
