Good evening Tejprabha ji
Nicorandil (nikoran) is very effective drug in longterm management of coronary artey disease having side effects like flushing, palpitation, headache , nausea and vomiting.
Though you are not at maximum dose still it could be the reason. You should consult your cardiologist at earliest.
