Clear fluid draining from nose

2017-11-29 07:36:10
I've been noticing a lot of clear watery fluid draining from my nose, mostly if I'm bending over or my head is tilted downward. I do suffer from chronic back pain, and headaches quite frequently. I've noticed with the sudden draining I'll get quite light headed and get nauseous.
