Should The ER Be Visited For Palpitations And Fever?

I had 2 sudden bowel movements last Saturday evening that emptied my bowel tract. I thought I had food poisoning because I learned my friend hadn t kept cooked chicken properly. On Sunday I felt worse and developed a fever of 100. My stools are very loose, but not watery. I am feeling better but still I need to use the toilet nearly every hour during the day, with only bits of stool each time. My headache is receding, but tonight I have a fever of 99.9. I also feel my heartbeat more than usual. I am on a very limited BRAT diet.I am 78. Should I try to see my doctor tomorrow?
