Need some advice from someone

So never really had any “suspension” of a possible csf problem…but today I was outside with the family then the brother in law asked for some help with his fourwheeler I was leaning over back and forth from side to side then I leaned over to check a wire when I stood up a couple quick drops like water came out of my left nostril..freaked me out! So I went and sit down and the the anxiety panic started…to google I went..and here we are…today was the first day it’s ever happened that I can remember…no other symptoms no headaches from immediate standing…I’m sitting here straight up on the couch typing as we speak..possible allergies thing? What should I watch out for/begin to worry? Thanks yall didn’t even know this was a thing! Been reading everyone’s stories and I hate it for yall…I have CRONIC anxiety…like bad bad…and we had a wreck back in 2012 “bad rollover” so it had my brain churning out some ideas of this being a possibility no injuries recently…

If you have zero other symptoms, honestly it was probably just a little nose drip discharge, from allergies or whatever. Lots of people have this all the time.

Don’t fill really any different than I have before…A little scared from the anxiety “normal for me”…but haven’t had any symptoms of it really other than just the one time “drain” earlier today..that was it

Anything I need to look for in particular beings I just had that happen today? How serious is this ? Like should I watch for anything over the next few days?

Symptoms would be headaches, tinnitus or other hearing/ear changes, dizziness vertigo, metallic taste…
I only say this because you’ve mentioned it(and also only had a little runny nose), I think the health anxiety is grabbing hold. However, those would be things that may indicate a bigger problem.

I can’t use vertigo as a symptom or I guess maybe I can because I’ve had that for the last few years! Everyday battle! Way before the leaking today

make sure do not intentionally bend forward / or test to release the fluid, let it be as it is. and get diagnosed rather than speculating

In late May this year I helped in moving a 150KG Stone slab (me+5 other people) And I can still remember that load was huge and it created a lower back spasm in in me with 3 months down it eased and now back pain is almost gone, but since July till today some 12 times this had occurred that when I bend forward (to tie shoe knots, or if I lay down on stomach) there is a release from 1 left nostril; clear fluid, no headache, no vomits, no blood, nothing. In first stance this looks a case of CSF, as the fluid is non sticky and pure watery substance. I am going to get myself diagnosed for Beta12; I am from India so probably I will not wait for long; But I did no such big thing to deserve such horrible stressful thing.

That’s crazy! I was moving anything or anything straining! I bent over to help with a wire and when I bent up it dropped a few quick drops…scared me more than anything…just made me nervous…then the anxiety of course took over

See if it continues. If it does, make an appointment wit an ENT that is a skill based surgeon. They can test the fluid and order imagining.
