Glad you're reading: Perhaps the most important single thing that a skilled physician can do to start finding out is to ask, "How do you FEEL?" One of my acquaintances recently discovered he has Arnold-Chiari after developing headaches after walking neck-extended as a trumpeter in a marching band. The severity varies tremendously. Keep reading and learning about it. Best wishes.
