Ectopic tonsils less than 2mm

I've been having severe ongoing symptoms for 3byears now, I can't drive anymore. I have fainted since 11 years old. My last faint I face planted and broke my nose very bad.. since then I have had severe pre syncope bad fatigue muscle soreness and fatigue, dizziness MASSIVE DAILY HEADACHE AT BASE OF SKULL AND NECK shoulder til burning pain, I can't lift anything without severe pain, I lose feeling in my hands and legs/ feet. I get severe cold feet I have severe heat and cold intolerance. My face stays red now I feel like I'm burning in the sun my ANA tests come back negative. They say I have POTS, IST AND OH. I have SVT as well. I do have celiac and endometriosis....

My thing is they finally found lower lying ectopic tonsils less than 2mm ... My neurosurgeon said she won't do the scan to see about the flow in my spine to see if it is being blocked I think I'm saying this correctly until I do two full months of physical therapy which sounds like hell to me with these headaches I get does this sound familiar to anyone I've read up on zero chiari can I have some insight please
