Eating too much citric acid (or any acidic food) can upset the acid-base balance in your body and possibly contribute to a metabolic acidosis, which can cause headaches, as well as some other symptoms. However, the events are most likely unrelated, as your body if pretty capable of handling minor acid-base disturbances.
If you have consumed to much citric acid, and start to get a headache, try this experiment: CO2 (carbon dioxide) is an acid, so if you breathe rapidly and "blow off" your CO2, it will compensate for any metabolic acidosis you may be experiencing. But don't hyperventilate. You could pass out. If it helps, great, if not, it strengthens the possibility that your headaches are not related to your excessive clementine consumption.
The most frequent negative effect of eating too much citric acid, that I am aware of, is stomach pain due to excess acid (which is especially irritating if you have ulcers).
