For the last few days when I bend forward I get a clear water fluid leak from my nose. I don’t think it’s allergies it’s winter where I live. It kind of tastes metallic. It is just like water it’s not mucus at all. Anyone know what this is? I had a baby 2.5 months ago and needed emergency c section I did get an epidural and spinal block as I had issues and needed more emergency surgery if that’s any thing to do with it

Google post nasal drip

Seek medical advice ASAP, OP. This could be a sign of a CSF leak.

Are there any trees with catkins around? I had this during the winter when DS was in nursery. I get quite bad tree pollen hay fever generally and different trees give me different symptoms. DS's nursery had a few trees with catkins in the car park, they might have been hazel trees. The pollen was active in January/February, one day it snowed and you could see the yellow pollen on the snow around the base of the trees. Once he left nursery and moved to school I never had that symptom again, probably because it's not a common tree where I was living.

Definitely get it checked out in case it's something more serious though.
