Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to rheumatoid arthritis. I see through the query that you have already taken the treatment. Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) is a medication commonly used in pregnancy to treat autoimmune disease. This use has shown that HCQ is very safe in pregnancy. Ranitidine is also considered safe during pregnancy. I suggest to use the medications as prescribed by your doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
