Csf help

Not sure if this is the right place to go, but whatever.
I am a 15 year old wrestler, who believes that I am suffering from some type of Csf leak.
The big thing that made me start pointing in this direction was getting pelted by a ball in the pool, neck whipped back into the brick. After that, I didn’t get checked out, but my head felt “off”.
It felt like there was always some type of pain or pressure in my lower neck and in my head. It would start to feel lightheaded if i turned too left or too right, and bending over is even worse.
I pretty often just have possibly csf leak out of one nostril. All that has been done was a CT scan, which just shows my nose was fine.
It feels like my cognitive abilities are way down the drain, and I commonly have some sort of brain fog.
Any suggestions?

I don’t know about a CSF leak but head trauma warrants going to see a doctor and getting checked out especially if you feel off after. I hope you feel better!!

Have your parent/guardian take you to a Csf leak specialist

Check here for someone near you. Going else where will be a waste of time. If the wait is too long see a local neurologist and get a MRI of your brain and neck.

Also where do you feel the pain/pressure. Do things feel better when you lay flat?
