swollen

So I have been sitting at an Xmas gathering for my family today for about 3 hours got home was relaxing in my recliner. Walked up stairs to talk on my phone and looked down and my ankles are huge! Its mostly the back and the inside of my ankle. I'm worried bcuz I looked up preclampsia sorry if that's spelt wrong. And another side effect is shortness of breath and I have had that for the last 4 weeks. I'm only 21 weeks. I'm calling the doc in the morning but who has had it and what advice can you give me!?!

I'm 26 weeks was told I had preeclampsia at 20 weeks. I am managing my symptoms by eating a mostly salt free diet, also following gestational diabetes diet, taking liquid fish oils 2x per day, and powdered magnesium every night. It's working very well. I'm back to once a month appointments instead of once a week.
