How much can i trust a pulse/oxy meter from the store my pulse and sp02 level comes out fine but the line seems to skip a beat always?

Anxiety : You seem to have an obsession with your health and a lot of anxiety. Your heart is beating and your oxygenation is normal, you'll do better to put the device in a drawer and get some exercise.

Possibly both: It is possible to maintain a normal oxygen level even if your heart beat is irregular..
