I read and understand your question very well.

Bromocriptine is indicated in patient with hyperprolectin leve, as your prolactin level is 40 ,it is possible to start on bromociptine .
Just do MRI of brain with contrast first and find out cause for hyperprolactin level by consulting your physician.

I hope my advice will help you a lot.
