can't figure out what's wrong with me

I am a 30 year old female whom has suffered from dizziness/lightheadedness, nausea, headaches/migraines for the past several years.  I also have a tendency to have low energy and tire very easily.  I have been to the doctor several times for these symptoms but nobody seems to be able to pinpoint exactly what's going on.  A couple of years ago I went to the ER for a migraine and found to have no blood flow in my left vertebral artery.  I was referred to a neurologist where an angiogram was performed.  It was found that I have a dissection which has cut off all blood flow through my left vertebral artery.  However, a stent was not placed because my other vertebral artery has sufficient bloodflow from what I have been told.  Since this I have suffered migraines, neck pain, and as of in the recent months I now have tingling of my feet and hands.  Sometimes my vision is a bit blurred.  If I put my chin to my chest, pain shoot through the back of my neck and down my legs.  My leg pain occurs gets so bad at times that I cannot sleep at night.  My neck pain is so intense at times, that I can barely move my neck.   When I turn my head I can feel grinding/crunching, but it also seems to have a "catch" where it will kind of pop the a burning sensation runs though my neck along with intense pain.  Also, there have been times in the past few months that it almost feels as though my heart stops for a second and I become breathless...but only for a second.  I have had a few EKG's done which all have been normal.  Seven years ago I went also found out that I have a small cyst on/near my brain stem.  I have always suffered from bad allergies and chronic sinus infections.  I have had one sinus infection about 6 or 7 years ago, and looks like I am going to need another one.  I am not sure if any of these symptoms are linked together or not, but if you have any ideas on what might be going on, I would love to hear what your input would be.  I also have a lump on the back of my neck on the left side.  It doesn't hurt but it seems to be getting larger.  It's not very big...maybe the size of the tip of my finger.

Thank you!   These symptoms have been going on for about a month now which is frustrating.  I have migraines, but they are never like this.

Hi,

How are you?
The symptoms of headache, blurry vision and tingling numbness are classical symptoms of migraine.
Are you taking any treatment for migraines?
Tingling numbness in legs can also be due to nerve compression in the back or neck. An X ray of spine or a CT scan will help to diagnose.
Lump in the neck can be enlarged lymph node. A physical examination will help to diagnose the cause.

I apologize...I have a typo in my message above....6-7 years ago I had a sinus surgery....not an infection.
