Hi
Shortness of breath and its relief on taking rest may point to angina.You say you are diabetic.Are you suffering from any respiratory problems.as angina is a possibility .I advise you to get a different referral and get examined and investigated and treatment depends on the outcome of examination and investigations.
Hope this helps you .
