Stark Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 So I was just laying on my bed and some clear liquid came out of my ear. Has this happened to anyone else?? It's definitely not water. I'm new at this whole POTS thing and the new weird stuff every day definitely freaks me out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jklass44 Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 @Stark Was it a small amount like drainage of earwax or was it a significant amount of fluid? Perhaps get checked for CSF leak? I’ve heard that can cause fluid leakage from the ears/nose etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
potsiebarbie Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 I second csf leak. I think they can test fluid that comes out of ear or nose. Was it a one time thing so far? Any other symptoms? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stark Posted January 18, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 It was a not insignificant amount. I've had a few occasions of fluid leaking out of my nose when I lean forward as well, so it sounds like something I should look into. I do have symptoms of altered intercranial pressure, like tinnitus and weird vision stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Help4Me Posted January 19, 2019 Report Share Posted January 19, 2019 Stark I have this too and also have questioned CSF leak.....they can cause POTS too.....I am pretty sure I have one.....but my leaking has stopped lately.....so I don't know....maybe it healed up....

Help4Me Posted January 19, 2019 Report Share Posted January 19, 2019 I also have the ringing in the ears and blurred vision......I went to an ENT and he looked in my ears and said they looked fine....you would think with all my symptoms someone would have said hey you may have a LEAK...ugggggg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StayAtHomeMom Posted January 19, 2019 Report Share Posted January 19, 2019 I would also look into a possible CSF leak. It can cause POTS and could be a possible fix if that is what is causing your dysautonomia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yogini Posted January 22, 2019 Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 This could be one of.a number of things. I get fluid from my nose when I tilt forward which I always assumed was mucous. I also fluid from my ear which I assume is water. Everyone is different but a doctor could tell you for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CuriousThinker Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 I've heard of cerebral spinal fluid leak in relation to these conditions. I think it can come out of the nose or post nasal drip. It might also be able to come out of the ear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
