My RHR is still elevated (53bpm

I was monitoring BP back in October/November. I started out trying to get each morning's check in before my first swig of coffee, which meant I was starting a minute or two after sitting down, and the results were higher than I'd like, both BP and HR. I started testing a second time 5 minutes later and both BP and HR were lower. Then I decided to test the effect of coffee, and checked at 0, 20 minutes, and 60 minutes after drinking a big cup of strong black coffee. About 3 bpm higher HR, and no change in BP. I still get the increased alertness and defogging of the mind.
