Man Discovers Runny Nose Is Really Brain Fluid
Wow, I'm so glad he was able to discover what was the problem because he could have died if he didn't get the proper diagnosis.
A man was horrified after learning that his constant runny nose was really his brain leaking fluid, according to a statement released by his doctor.
The Arizona man thought he had allergies all year round, because his nose kept running. He was surprised to find out after years of suffering, that his runny nose was actually his brain fluid.
Joe Nagy first noticed his runny nose when he got up to get out of bed.
"This clear liquid dribbled through my nose as tears from my eyes. I was like what is this?" Nagy said.
He added that the symptoms continued to worsen over time.
Nagy tried allergy medications, which did not help. He said he had tissues on hand all the time.
He still remembers the embarrassing moments when he could not reach the tissues in time, like when he was picking up drawings of models of aircraft.
