For more than a year and a half, Joe Nagy's nose just wouldn't stop running.

At first he put it down to year-round allergies caused by the Arizona weather.

The condition occurred once or twice a week, especially when he sat up in bed, but within a short time his nose ran constantly.

Eventually, Mr Nagy's condition became unbearable,' I got to the point where I had tissues all the time' he told Fox 10.

He finally went to the doctor to be told his runny nose was far from run-of-mill allergies: his brain was leaking.

The problem would occur on a daily basis. 'This clear liquid dribbled out of my nose like tears out of your eyes. I go what is this?'

'I got to the point where I had tissues all the time. My pockets were full of folded-up tissues.'
