HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Any illness can cause an increase in the heart rate particularly if there is any increase in temperature.
Medications used to treat nasal congestion can also cause an increase in the pulse.
Your pulse rate (85-93) , though it may be increased above your normal baseline , is still within normal range (60 to 100).
I hope this helps
