Do i 21(f) have post sepsis syndrome?

So last year around halloween i had to go to the hospital for pneumonia where i learned i had sepsis. I was at 2.5 when i had arrived and i had stayed for 3 days in the hospital. For a while i had total loss of strength in my legs and arms and had an inhaler but it had gotten better over the weeks. Now its may and im still having problems. Lately im having constant muscle pain in my legs(has gotten better after leaving my last job) still having lung issues with a recent cough from fluid in my lungs, and most notable a brain fog and extreme tiredness. Im 21 and although im aware post sepsis syndrome isnt as common in my age group, im worried i have it due to my immune system issues and history of infections. Does anyone who has had it or has it give me some advice? Im worried I'll embarrass myself if i go to a doctor.
