Symptoms for 15 years, could use some advice.

I started having my first symptoms back in 2004. One thing that was specific about that year was I was in a terrible car accident that I ended up getting whiplash. I started hairdressing and I first noticed migraines that were always in the back of my head. Then I noticed my balance was off.  Those were my first initial symptoms. I started going to doctors and they would run labs everything would come back normal. I had a heart monitor test. I had a echo cardio gram that detected slight regurgataion of my tricuxpid valve. Then I started noticing visual changes I could not focus like I used to. If I bend down to long I get pressure in the back of my head and a tight stiff neck. I made them give me a cat scan. They said it came back normal. So I got a copy and read it myself.  The only thing off in the report. It did day on there that there was insufficient car flow? I don't know what that means. Then I was still complaining ofcouse they thought this girl must be mentally unstable I even questioned it myself. So I started thinking maybe this is all in my head aswell.I insisted something was a miss so in 2008 they sent me to a neurologist and he took stays of my neck before I got the results he up and left practice just days after my appointment. At that point I gave up. Since then I sucked it up dealt with my symptoms and worked through them. Now they are getting worse and I am scared. I notice a cessation of stop breathing I sleep. I notice balance is getting worse and pressure in back of my head. Visual focus is worse. My memory is worse. I now get tremors. I get tingling and numbness. It feels like pressure on my occipital area. When I turn my neck it makes weird noise. I am only 35. This all started on my 20s. I have looked up things on my own of course havi g no i insurance and being scared with 3 kids 2 are toddlers. I looked into chiari thinking that just maybe this could explain this because I have to avoid any activity that hard the back of my head and neck because of the pounding pressure it causes.  Thank you in advance Trace
