What Causes Night Sweats, Chest Pain And Mild Cough?

Six weeks ago I had what was diagnosed as community acquired pneumonia. I was given Azythromycin (one course), which relieved my fever, but I continue to have chest pain, trouble breathing, mild cough, lethargy and worst, continuing strong night sweats. Is this something I should be concerned about or is this part of the normal pneumonia recovery process? I am a 68 year old white male.
