Default New Looking for advice; Lesion

Hello everyone;

My name is Melissa, I am a 27 yo female. I am in relatively good physical condition. I began seeking help after I started having extreme dizzy spells but have had frustrating symptoms for over 3 years now. I am not sure if I have MS, but do have similar symptoms including:

Numbness and serious tremors in arms and wrists on and off. The longest spell was 6 months (I lost a job because of this, I couldn't even get keys in my door)
Sudden Confusion
Depression
Fatigue (it is really hard to do anything at all some days)
dizzy/light headed spells
Memory issues (sometimes I forget who I am talking to on the phone for example, these happen while I am dizzy)
Sometimes while talking I can't come up with words during dizzy spells
Presyncope
One incident with slurred speech
Vision fading in and out like a camera trying to focus

I had an MRI and they found a single lesion in the corpus callosum, they dismissed this because it was only one and did not meet criteria for a demyelinating disease.

They also found a 2 cm cyst on the sphenoid wing, which they say is not likely responsible for the majority of my symptoms (may be causing my visual issues). I will be seeing a neuro-opthamologist for this.

I am being evaluated for arrhythmia and am wearing a heart monitor for two weeks.

I was wondering if I should push the issue with that lesion or if it is something that doesn't mean anything at all. They do not seem concerned about it, and did not even tell me; I read it in the report. I am not sure what I should do or ask for. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!
