Rapid heart: Sinus problems could be due to a number of things like infection, allergies, non allergic rhinitis,polyps,etc. If you are using decongestants that could explain your elevated heart rate. Caffeine,stress,or dehydration can be adding to your tachycardia. Irbesartan is for blood pressure control, but does not slow down a rapid heart beat. Contact your doctor ASAP to let them know you are having issue

Recheck: Rapid heart rate may be due to fever or infection. Therefore if you have sinusitis type symptoms such as head congestion,headache or cheek discomfort along with nasal discharge or discolored mucus, see your Physician for diagnosis and treatment.
