I was wondering.. My pulse is usually always around 72 at rest..Lately it doesn't seem to get lower than about 76 even when completely relaxed.. Today I noticed that I did a little exercise outside and then came in and waited about 30 minutes and it was still at 90 .If its at 90 after 30 minutes what does that mean when I was up exerting..Is this safe to go ahead and do things again ..I didn't seem to have any problems with anything just noticed my pulse was rather a little faster than normal.. when active..I have been checked by several doctors recently with good results but i had the flu for several weeks and am just now starting back to getting active..I was wondering if its ok for the pulse rate to go up while active and if it will go back down when resting.. Does this all sound normal?
Forgot to mention that I ate a little breakfast after exercise and drank some coffee would this make a difference in higher pulse rate longer??

some people have genetically higher heart rates while others who may be out of shape will also have a higher heart rate. caffeine can also increase it, maybe switch to decaf for a few days and see if this makes a difference. if you had the flu recently, then you may be working out before you have fully recovered or when your body is tired thus making your heart rate elevate. you are probably fine and shouldn't worry.

Your pulse is still in the range of normal and not very much higher than it was before, I wouldn't worry about it unless you have some other symptoms associated with it. Both caffeine and exercise can raise your pulse rate (with caffeine working for longer than the exercise, obviously), but your story sounds like a perfectly normal pulse to me.

Caffeine is a stimulant and might increase it a bit. Accelerated pulse on exertion is normal, and it should return to normal in a reasonable time. 90 is not bad for exertion.

Caffeine is a stimulant and would raise your heart rate, but you otherwise sound normal. Yes, it goes up with activity and down with relaxation.

pulse gets faster each time we do strenous activities,,,, it is normal but a pulse exceeding 135 means you have to rest,,,

caffine is a stimulate and will increase your heart rate. to get your true resting heart rate take it right when you wake up.
