Dripping wet feeling felt inside head.
Hello,
When I was 15, I was laying on my back playing my gameboy, when suddenly, I felt something like water trickling down the INSIDE of my head. This was NOT something I felt on my scalp, but again INSIDE of my head where someone will feel a headache. Of course, I was all nerves, crying hysterically, asking my sister to call my mom because I thought the worse was about to happen to me. To make a long story short, my mom took me to the emergency room, where the doctors performed a CAT scan on my head. After getting out of the CAT machine, they showed me a picture of my skull revealing that had sinusitis. I asked them what was the wet feeeling I was feeling, and they said it was mucus draining. So they put me on antibiotics for like 30 days or something? And I still continued to feel that wet trickling feeling of water running in the inside of my head. There is no pain associated with it, but utter fear and worry.
As silly as it sounds, I never went back to the doctor because I am already a hypochondriac, and feared the worst as a second opinion. Seven years later at 22, I continue to feel this 'wet trickly feeling' in the inside of my head frequently not lasting many minutes. My temple also twitches, which frightens the hell out of me, as well as twitches felt in other areas of my head. My primary doctor said, if something seriouly was wrong with me, I would have known by now. I am not reassured, and on the verge of going to the doc to see if something wrong. To feel like water is dripping inside the head is abnormal, and never heard of? What could this possibly be?

I also have this feeling, but i have a Chiari Malformation and had decompression surgery a year ago, that is when the feeling started, yes it can be a CFS leak, this is a spinal fliud leak, and if it goes on untreated it can be VERY dangerous, you need an MRI with contrast to find it, or the problem that may be causing it, this is the only way it can be found.
hello i posted sometime in december. for quite a long time I too have fluid draining in the inside my head. IT then fills up my ears. So i know excaatly what you are talking about and feeling. I also have constant headaches. I was being checked for a CSF leak but nothing showed. I still think my radiology reports are being read wrong as I know there is something wrong with me. maybe you can be check for a csf leak. It is when there is a problem with the lining of the sinuses and occasionlay fluid that sourrounds the brain can leak into the sinus area which Is what I know I have. I just need someone to find it. GOod luck
Hey how are you fcar?
Thank you for replying. I was so anxious to see what anyone would say! Yes, when I was searching on this, I had NO results to come up for awhile, but then I read about a CSF leak. I don't know how dangerous it is, but I am going to get another scan one of these days because like you say, you feel as if there is something really wrong. It is quite frightening, yet I do not experience any kind of headaches or pain with it. Just feel like cold water spilling down and across the inside of my head. Thanks for wishing me luck, and I wish the same likewise=).
