Sal, I have also experienced the high HR during the first 5 minutes. Is your device a Garmin one? There is some consensus that it's due to static electricity with the shirt until it gets a little bit wet.
Here's a thread on the Garmin site where some people talk about this issue. I had a Polar some time ago and never experienced the problem. Having into account that the bands should be interchangeable, I should try it some day.

Don't worry as it's not any issue with your heart
