I am 39 with controlled high blood pressure but obese and i also have anti vel antigen blood type. i am 5 weeks pregnant . is this a dangerous pregnan?

Arguably yes.: Simply given your age (>35), obesity, atrial fibrillation & high blood pressure requiring medication, you are considered "high risk." Both your medications are teratogen Class C drugs, i.e. the FDA has no evidence that they are safe during organogenesis. The anti-vel alloantibody does complicate things further for both you and the gestation. Consider addressing this with both an OB & internist.
