Sudden onset of symptoms

I've been visiting my doctor and ER repeatedly for 4 months with MANY seemingly unrelated symptoms - loss of hearing and buzzing in 1 ear, dizziness, blurred vision, trouble swallowing, aspiring food, balance issues, brain fog, frequent urination/bladder control issues, dropping things a lot plus chest pain and heart attack symptoms, blood pressure spikes and irregular heartbeat. I am a migraine sufferer but I am not having any headaches at the back of my head.  I recently had a CT scan where they identified a Chiari but the doctors seem reluctant to blame it for my various symptoms.  It is frustrating. Has anyone else had this problem?

Hi and welcome to the Chiari forum.
YES!! All of us have had to fight to get to the right Dr in order to get the right care. You need a true Chiari specialist .  Do you know the details of your Chiari.....   Many Drs look at the length of herniation but that is not the right way to deal with this .
It's unfortunate that all of us have to fight to get listened to.
