I'm having this issue where clear fluid keeps leaking from my nose whenever I bend down. This has been happening for about a year now, and I can count about 56 drops each time. My ENT thinks it could be a CSF leak and suggested doing some fluid biochemistry, but I'm having trouble collecting enough fluid for the test. Do you think this suspicion makes sense? And how can I get this confirmed? Are there any risks I should be worried about? I haven't had a persistent cold or anything like that, so I'm a bit lost on what I should do next.

So, I've been having this thing happening where when I lie down and close my eyes, I start feeling this pulsating sensation and a little dizziness, like a tightness in the back of my head. It comes and goes, especially when I'm breathing in and out. It usually goes away after a bit, but I'm not sure what's triggering it. Sometimes I don't feel it at all, but other times it'll happen while I'm just sitting too. Also, I have an anxiety disorder, and my heart rate usually stays between 80 to 90 bpm. Does this sound like something I should be worried about, or is it more linked to my anxiety?

I've had headaches four times in the last 10 days, and one time I even vomited. Before the headache starts, my vision gets blurry. I've taken a Saridon tablet three times, and once I just slept it off and it went away. These headaches aren't usual for me, so I'm starting to think they might be migraines. Do you think I should see a doctor about this?

yes it might be migraine , if u get this next time visit near by physician
