Professional answer

You should contact obstetrics or the medical team responsible for pregnancy care as soon as possible, and inform them of the gestational age, measurement results, symptoms, past medical history, and all medications and supplements. There are specific restrictions on medication and tests during pregnancy, so you should not self-medicate or stop medication on your own. If severe discomfort, fainting, significant shortness of breath, or other emergency signs occur, contact emergency services immediately.
