I am aware that there are loads of the small portable units.
Could I ask if any one knows of blood pressure monitor where you can stick a patch near heart area and measure B/P that way on a constant basis like what is carried out in hospitals.
Maybe similar to what you see joggers using,
that are wrapped around their arm. Thanks for any info in advance

Heart rate monitors and BP monitors are different. My Fitbit measures my heart rate constantly which is reassuring. I wish it would do BP too but just not feasible.

I have a cuff BP monitor ,have had high BP since pre eclampsia in 2 pregnancies .If I have a GP appointment I take BP 3 or 4 times a day for a week and keep the numbers for the GP .Your BP will change constantly throughout the day and monitoring it all the time isn't really ideal if you are a worrier .it will scare the wits out of you at times .If your doctor thinks you need 24 hour monitoring they will arrange it for you .
