I saw different doctors and never got possitive results. I don't know what is wrong with me, I have watter dripping from nose for one year and sometimes eye watering but no head aches so when I sleep or lie it goes down my throat. It makes me nervous and uncomfortabl. House doctor said that I was cold and gave me anthibiotics but no possitive results.When I am angry or stressed it happens or when I go out from inside It starts dreeping , also when I wake up in morning, my nose are blocked, I have bad breathing and sometimes like dizziness I thnk because of bad breathing,I was also to specialist and made me alergy test and said that i have no alergy no sinus problems but my nose mucosa looks like angry and active.I would please you to give me any Idea what should i do.

According to the data you provided, you might be experiencing post nasal dripping due to an allergy. The allergy panel might not have shown the exact condition because it simply might not have included the allergen you are allergic to.

This is one of the disadvantages of every allergy panel. They usually include only the most common allergens.
You might want to ask your doctor if anti-inflammatory nasal sprays would be beneficial and see if the therapy diminishes the symptoms.
