Default Cold Start

When starting my car in the morning, it feels like the car has a hard time starting up. And after about 20 seconds the engine rpm jumps from 1.5k to 2k and than drops back down to about 1.1k. Is this something i should be worried about? I dont have a check engine light.

When i cold start my car in the morning, my RPM jumps to around 1.5k then down to 1k , never had the feeling that my car is having a hard time starting up. It takes about a good 5 minutes to warm up( not completely warmed up ) my car, every morning

That's where my rpms are on a cold start too. At first I was a bit worried but, it's only on 1.5k for a few seconds.
