What you have may not be CSF leak but could just be fluid draining from your sinuses. It is important to follow up with your doctor so you could be reevaluated.

Can easily test fluid to see if spinal origin. Most likely sinus. See your surgeon and confirm

I just woke up intensely dizzy with my ears leaking fluid. If a CSF leak was happening, would it only be in one ear? Vestibular cause more likely?
