I am using oximeter to check my oxygen saturation level in my home isolation,my health is stable from last 4 days. Infact it is improving. My oxygen saturation level is showing 94 to 99 ,maximum time at 99.Every time it is flactuating more from 94 to 99 , for a fraction of second ,it touches 92. Is it normal to flactuate ?? Any issue with machine ?? Will I need to contact doctor over this??

Don't worry fluctuation in reading is common. But if persistent reading is less than 90% on room air is point of concern.
