Should I go to the ER or wait until morning and go to a walking clinic?

All week I have had diarrhea (not super severe, around 8 times per day) that is filled with lots of mucus (long strands of it), and pain around my belly button. Last night, the pain got so intense that it kept me from sleeping, but it subsided this morning and I was able to eat some yogurt so I figured it was okay. Now this evening I am feeling very light headed (I fell because of it), headachy, thirsty (I'm drinking lots of water but my lips and the skin on my hand is getting very dry and so is my mouth) and the pain is now migrating lower and to the right side of my abdomen (it hurts about as much as a sprained ankle - tolerable, but not pleasant). I haven't been vomiting and I don't think I have a fever. I'm worried that maybe I have something like appendicitis but I don'T want to go to the ER for a virus that I just need to wait out either. What do you think? Can I wait until tomorrow?
