Your blood pressure changes during the day. I check mine twice a day with an Omron.
I would be interested in an inexpensive wearable device to watch constantly for AFIB.

@lenmayo I wear an Apple iWatch 10 which gives me HR 24/7. It has an AFIB feature but frankly doesn’t work for me as well as I’d like. Usually gives me an inconclusive reading - 95% of the time. Very sensitive to movement so I believe the only good readings I’m getting on AFIB are when I’m asleep. Mild case and says I’m in AFIB 4% or less on average. That concurs with what my Cardiologist says. I’ve reduced with “lifestyle” changes through weight loss, moderate exercise, 0 alcohol, 0 caffeine, etc. I still have about 40lbs to get off and hopefully that will eliminate it. I’m already off of Blood Thinner (Eliquis) which I took for approx 8 months. I have LBBB as well but it doesn’t seem to affect me in any way that I feel or function.
