Had 3 days of super high stress and anxiety and I've noticed this really weird sensation. The first word that comes to mind is dizzy, but that's not really what it is. I've checked to see if it's bppv and it's not, but I did some maneuvers anyway but of course they did nothing. It's not really vertigo as I don't feel like I'm spinning, it's more of a sensation of crawling/buzzing/gentle motion inside my brain and body. It worsens when I close my eyes. I feel like I need to shake and tense my muscles when it happens. It doesn't really seem to be worsened by movement and I notice it most when I'm laid down. It's a super distressing sensation as it reminds me of something similar/the same thing I experienced last year when my anxiety was at the worst it had ever been.

I was worrying it was to do with my ears (I have health anxiety and I'm constantly fixated on my ears and vestibular system) as there's a loud crackling in my left ear when I swallow and whenever I "pop" my ears (hold nose and blow) the right always goes before the left, and when the left one pops it feels like I can hear loads of fluid moving around in there? Just a bit more so than the right.

Is this something anyone else has experienced? Have you been to the doctor's about it and what did they say? I have an appointment on the 11th but it feels so far away and this symptom is really distressing me
