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 can't believe that there are other people out there that feels this dripping feeling in their head. I have  a dripping feeling in the left side of my head that comes and goes, feels cold, like an ice cream headache.  Can anyone tell me what type of tests or diagnosis they recieved for this.  It worries me, concerned it may be clot related.  Let me know.  Thanks
