I'm really worried. I had covid a little while ago, and luckily it was pretty mild. But now I'm left with this persistent cough and this heavy feeling in my chest. Is this something normal to go through after recovering, or should I be more concerned about it?

I've recently been diagnosed with pneumonitis in my lungs by my family doctor, and now they've suggested seeing a specialist. I'm a bit worried and curious about what that might entail. Could you help me understand more about what pneumonitis is and why I might need further treatment from a specialist? Is this condition really serious, and what usually happens during these specialist consultations? I'm just trying to make sense of it all and figure out what I should expect.
