Brief Answer:
Double marker test advised

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, thanks for trusting health care magic.
I understand your anxiety related to the issue.
Yes the nuchal thickness is increased and thus you need to get a blood test called double marker study because seeing the thickness and your age more than 30 years, you have a high risk of down's syndrome.
So get the test done and then we can discuss further management accordingly.
All the best.
Regards
Dr Manisha
