I am trying to design an algorithm to reject peaks that are too close together, lets say if they are within 100 samples. Could someone please help me with this??

Instead of all those loops, do it using vectors:
S=diff(y); % Calculate the slopes
S1=S(2:end);
S2=S(1:end-1);
% Look for locations of peaks and troughs
imx=find(S1.*S2 <= 0 & S1-S2 < 0 & S2 > 0)+1;
imn=find(S1.*S2 <= 0 & S1-S2 > 0 & S1 > 0)+1;
Now you have the locations of all the peaks (and troughs)
t=[0:length(y)-1]';
plot(t,y,'b-',t(imx),y(imx),'ro',t(imn),y(imn),'gs')
So, now, you can apply your algorithm to reject peaks less than a threshold.
