Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
Your symptoms seem to be related to to temporal arteritis which is an inflammation of the blood vessels.
I suggest using an anti inflammatory medication such as Acetaminophen in case of pain.
Acetaminophen is considered a safe treatment during pregnancy.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
