I can't find much information about CSF leaks and what they can cause, so maybe someone here can help? If you've read my other posts I had a leak and had severe symptoms including blacking out and needed emergency surgery to repair. After the repair I felt so much better and was home from the hospital the next afternoon.
I'm 4 days post-op from that repair, feeling really good - I haven't been doing much, mostly staying in bed, but last night I was hungry and put some chicken nuggets and fries in the oven and when I went to take them out, I think maybe I bent down and went up too fast, not sure though, but I was a little dizzy and then I got the spatula to flip the fries over but I lost control of my hand and it just kept moving on its own and I thought maybe I might pass out so I dropped the spatula and turned around and leaned on the counter and was fine.
It was really scary because I never have experienced anything like this until I had the leak, and now that the leak is repaired I didn't think I'd have these issues - but I do think I might still have some spinal fluid in my sinuses, I sometimes can feel sloshing in my ears still, so maybe that could cause balance/control issues?
I've googled everything I can think of and can't find anything, does anyone know what could of happened to me? Could I have any permanent damage from the leak? I'm also nervous because in 6 days I'm in my sister's wedding as a bridesmaid, but I am sitting instead of standing at the front of the altar so hopefully I'll be just fine.
