Your doctor is providing a correct explanation for the care you're receiving as this is likely a sufficiently good approach for you in your circumstances. However diagnosis, especially in early stages, is enhanced by more frequent testing: "To determine the most reliable way to measure blood pressure, researchers followed 11,135 people from Europe, East Asia, and Latin America for 14 years... The researchers found that the 24-hour and nighttime blood pressure measurements provided a more accurate estimate of one’s risk for heart and vascular disease compared to the in-office readings." (1) It is a fact that your blood pressure changes while you go about your day and while those values aren't useful for comparing a diagnosis against the standardised test, there is still value in understanding how your blood pressure changes, the duration and amount of that change and risk factors for bringing about those changes. Furthermore similar to measuring the beating of the heart, continuous blood pressure monitoring can be an useful as indicator of other kinds of medical conditions, this would go beyond what is pragmatically possible with a 24 hour testing cuff. If you're a person who needs to have their blood pressure checked - then you are a person who will benefit from continuous measurement. My only qualm to telegaph: continuous indirect BP measurement is hard, and past approaches have had a limited scope. This is one of those technologies where it is wise to have an amount of skepticism.
