Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion you should first consult pulmonologist and get done chest x ray to rule out pneumonia.
As coughing out blood (haemoptysis) and chest pain indicates pneumonia.
So chest x ray is necessary to rule out this.
Pneumonia with diarrhoea is commonly seen in kleibseilla infection.
So consult pulmonologist and discuss all these.
You may need antibiotics and supportive drugs.
