Depends: Some pcps can manage sleep disorders quite well. Ask for a referal from the place you had the sleep study performed. They should lead you in the right direction.

Restless leg Syndrom: If the sleep study did not show apnea, restless leg syndrome should be followed up by a neurologist. Good luck.

PLMD: Rls is restless legs before you fall asleep. Plmd ( periodic limb movement disorder) is picked up on a polysomnogram and can be a cause of excessive daytime sleepiness. ). Any sleep disorders specialist can treat it. In fact, any doctor who takes the time to learn about it can treat it. I am a psychiatrist and sleep specialist. Whoever has the knowledge, treat it. You do not need to be a neuro.
