ECG is ok, lipid profile is ok. can you please suggest some test to check blood circulation and to check if blood is thick or thin?

sir serum lipid profile is good marker
other tests r invasive like angiography which probably aren't necessary on current situation
regular walk and light exercise can help to improve circulation and develop collateral circulation for ur Coronary vessels

actually I don't want to start medication before diagnosis as it has side effects. my condition is ok. that's why I want to diagnose and go for it with diet control and lifestyle changes
