What Causes Rapid Heart Rate While On Irbesartan?

My family physicians nurse called the results of my wearing a heart monitor for 48 hours. She said the dr said it showed that the upper part of my heart is more rapid and he wants me to take more medicine and see me in a month I am currently taking 300mg Ibersartan at bedtime for blood pressure plus .1mg clonidine twice a day. My question is what is going on with my heart?

Cardiologist,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

After going through your medical query I understand your concern & I would like to tell you that if as your doctor mentioned upper part of your heart is more rapid then you might be having Atrial Fibrillation or supraventricular tachycardia. Line of treatment is different for both abnormalities. So, It's recommended for you to get an Echocardiography done and consult a cardiologist personally for physical evaluation.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
