One sees a sleep doctor for sleep problems and a cardiologist for heart problems. Shortness of breath is no more a sleep problem than not a heart problem; indeed more likely a coronary artery problem. Sleepy, do the right thing and continue the cardiac diagnostics. Remember, if results are not definitive to your liking, an angiogram will be more definitive than the drug/stress ekg test. Good luck.
