Its not an exact science. You can goto multiple doctors and get mutiple opinions on what can be wrong with you, sometimes these opinions can be glaringly different.

If you follow hockey look at the Sidney Crosby saga. Team doctors and even 2nd opinion doctors said he suffered a concussion and concussion related symptoms. A last resort specialist in Florida concluded that Crosby infact suffered a neck injury that was causing his concussion like symptons. There is a reason why they call it a 2nd, or 3rd opinion in the medical field.
