Unraveling the Mysteries of Human Bodies

#12: Dripping Secrets

This individual recently disclosed a rather unusual aspect of their body that has sparked some concern. They took to the Internet to share that they can often feel and hear the movement of spinal fluid in their neck and at the base of their head. As non-medical observers, this revelation sounds potentially alarming and suggests there may be an underlying issue that requires professional assessment.

Cerebrospinal fluid, or CSF, surrounds our brain and spinal cord for protection. If someone can “feel” it, that might mean there is a CSF leak somewhere in there. This can be pretty serious if untreated. The most common side effect of a CSF leak is a headache. We hope this person went to get this checked out. It’s not quirky. It’s concerning!
