Brief Answer:
Yes, you should consult doctor and get done chest x ray.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your concern.
Yes, you should definitely consult doctor and get done
1. Clinical examination of respiratory system
2. Chest x ray.
Possibility of lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI - pneumonia) is high in your case.
Your weakness, joint pain, sweating, clammy skin etc are symptoms of infection.
Coughing with mucus and blood suggest possibility of pneumonia more.
So better to get done chest x ray to rule out this.
Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further.
Wish you good health.
Thanks.
