I was just taking a nap and was lying on my side. My alarm went off and when I sat up, a liquid almost as thin as water came dripping out of my left nostril. It was clear, maybe with a orangeish/reddish tint, tastes a little salty, and left my nostril with a sort of sour "smell" in it.

I've seen something like this before. When I would snorkel or scuba dive with my dad, he'd somehow trap water in his sinuses. He realized that afterwards, when he bent down for a second (like when he went to pick something up) then stood up, it would all come pouring out.

The tricky part here is that I haven't been in the water for about 5 days now. I have, however, been feeling kind of extra lazy, a little sick, a little depressed, and a little sore at my joints lately. My chiropractor had me take the week off from seeing him and had me fill out a survey to see if he can analize for any kind of toxicity in my body and I'm seeing him tomorrow. I've been eating healthy, getting plenty of sleep, and have no extra stress in my life lately. Is this any kind of sign of some sickness to look into? I'm not a worrier in general, but it was just kind of coincidental.

Thanks for any info.
