Hi,

Although there is no clear cut indication for Loprine in you, but we were also not able to rule out the disease, by negative test, the only test which can answer this is an angiography which is certainly no indicated in you. Why don't you discuss the option of ct coronary angiography with your doctor. It is taken at bedtime, the side effects are gastritis, bleeding especially from stomach, or excessive bleeding in case of injury. Although dose is low less likely to cause significant side effects.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Sagar Makode
