Detailed Answer:
Dear Madam,
Thank you for posting your query on HCM.
Well looking into your problem I would like to tell you that I dont think considering the given history that you have any emergency so you can take an appointment for next week but do show to some doctor.
When there is fever , blood and mucus in stools or anemia , these are the signs which need immediate evaluation.
Take care.
