Pulse Fluctuations
When I measure my pulse through Pulse oxymeter it fluctuates. Sometimes it shows 83-84 and few seconds later it shows 95-98. I am taking corbis 2.5 for the past 10 days. My ECG and ECHO is normal. I had consulted a cardio after I recovered from COVID due to high pulse rate in the range of 120-122 at resting. I'm non alcoholic and non smoker.

After attaching the pulse oximeter to a finger, please keep your finger rested on a table or a cot.
Then wait for few seconds till you get a waveform in the pulse.
Read your pulse and saturation after you get a continuous waveform.
Such a reading is the correct one, which avoids errors related to measurements.
Your pulse rate is within normal range. Don't worry.
