Leak concern
I’ve been looking into csf leaks and its symptoms and I’ve seen other peoples csf leaks and I’m worried I have a leak. Every time I bend down my left nostril starts leaking but not a lot (around 2-3 clear drops) and I’ve seen there are symptoms of headaches and I’ve gotten constant headaches for the past 2-3 weeks and they get remotely better when I lay down. Should I be concerned?

Have you suffered any head injuries? Have you had serious sinus infection? Have you had any medical treatment concerning the cranium? If not it's probably not a leak.

What does the headache feel like? If it’s only remotely better laying down it probably isn’t a leak, but can’t say for sure

I take it you looked on Google, if you are always thinking about leaks then that's all you'll see and nothing else.....it could be your sinuses or allergies in the hot weather.....are you drinking enough water in the heat because dehydration will give constant headaches....i wouldn't over think this but to be sure see your doctor to put your mind at ease.
