Pulse Oximeter Reading

I have GERD issues and sometimes I do feel that my breath is getting struck. Now for the very reason I started using pulse Oximeter daily to check my oxygen saturation. But I do get some strange readings. It do start with a saturation of 98 or 99 but suddenly after 20 to 30 seconds it will show 79,89, 94 than 98 or 99 or 60, 80, 90, 94 than 98 or 94. This abnormal reading will be displayed mostly for 3-4 Seconds. After from a feeling that something is strucked, I don't have any Issues and am moderately active.

Pink sputum daily morning past 4 mth!!!

Hi doctors, I am really baffled by this symptom of pinkish sputum in the morning. No diagnosis has confirmed actual cause till now. Did PNS CT scan(no major sinus issue), chest ct scan, nasal and throat endoscopy(normal). Only esophagus endoscopy revealed some minor erosions in esophagus(grade a) and doctor gave some medication for the same. However that has not improved this pinkish sputum symptom and dr is saying it's unlikely that blood will come from esophagus to mouth. Also got cbc blood test done and everything was normal. Initially I also had mild rhinitis symptoms so ENT mentioned this might be due to allergy so took  1 zadonase and nasal spray for a month and that also did not eradicate the symptom. Any help regarding this matter will be really helpful!!! Please let me know!!
