Yes.: Of course, you can talk to your pcp.Sleep apnea can make you depressed because of poor quality of sleep, and it can explain your fatigue. If you are on seroquel, (quetiapine) it can help you sleep as well

Yes: I would definitely want to consult with my pcp and try and get more answers. Second opinions are also warranted if you are not satisfied with the answers.

Yes: Yes PCP. TMJ and sleep disorders can be related. A TMJ expert can often help with both disorders. Any dentist can be a TMJ expert with the proper training and experience. Most commonly, oral surgeons, prosthodontists, and orofacial pain specialists. Ask your MD, your dentist and your dental society for referrals.
