I had my sleep apnea test, should i see a pulmonary intensivist or could i see a pulmonary?

You want to see either one if they have been certified in sleep medicine. Your family practitioner likely has a list of folks to see.

Actually, depends upon result of your sleep study, which is not mentioned. If you have evidence of sleep apnea, you need a nocturnal device, such as a C-PAP, or a specialized dental splint. Return to your primary doctor and get an appropriate referral.
