Training in the AM - heart rate

Hi guys,
Recently, i have switched from training in the late afternoon/evening to AM sessions. Mainly due to my job schedule which often has meetings later in the day.
What i am wondering / what "makes me a bit hyperchondric":
my resting heart rate is between 65 and 69.
when ive trained in the evening, my daily "sitting heart rate" prior the the training was also around that number. Lets say 69-72.
now what i am seeing is that when i train in the AM, my heart rate is almost elevated the whole day by some points. It does not go back to almost baseline but stays elevated, most of the time between 76 and 78.
is this something to be worried about? Or is this normal due to metabolic processes that are going on like oxygen demand by muscles etc?
if it is important:
I train more or less HIT style. Push/Pull/Legs. 1 rest day a week
e.g. pull looks somethig like this:
smith barbell row 2 sets of 6-8, 1 backoff set 10-12 reps
1 arm cable row/pull to the hips, 1 set of 8-12, 1 set of 15-20
medium width neutral grip lat pulldown 2x 8-10
rear delt pec dec 2 sets of 12-15
rear delt cable flys 2 sets of 12-15
dumbbell biceps curls 1 set of 6-8, 1 set of 12-15

thanks guys!
 
Are you getting properly hydrated that early in the day before training? I noticed something similar with my heart rate staying elevated and I increased my fluid intake before and after training and it fixed it.

hmm, this could have to do with it since i take diuretics twice daily due to my cardiomyopathy and maybe i am more dehydrated
Are you consuming stimulants near your workout?
always 2 espresso + a nootropic mix from bulkpowder (stim free, stuff like rhodiala, ksm ashwaganda..)
sometimes i might switch the 2 espresso to a monster energy zero.
but i dont think it has to do with them since, even when not training, i still drink the same amount of coffee in the AM
