Cream: The cream will not cause the symptoms you are describing. You may want to have yourself checked.

Get evaluated: Headache and palpitations are not typical side effects of steroid creams. Heart side effects more commonly occur with oral steroids. While your condition may not be serious, if you are concerned i would suggest further evaluation by an in-person physician.
