What to do if i had pneumonia three weeks ago, but i am still feeling quite sick, and short of breath?

Pneumonia: With what you wrote you should see your Dr. and get checked out. There is a post pneumonic asthenia period which can have you feeling crummy for a few months but there are also some serious possible complications of pneumonia and it isn't possible to tell what your specific problem is.
