How does one find out being a slow or a fast metabolizer? DNA test?

Like the other commenter alluded to, if you consume caffeine and your BP remains really elevated past two hours, you’re probably a slow metabolizer.

You can do the basic continuous blood pressure monitoring. Not super precise but should work for categorizing.
