Currently struggling with this. No solution or suggestions, just wanted you to know you aren’t alone.
You know 8 years of this and here I am speaking to another person with the condition for the 1st time. I will tell you that the 1st time I experienced it was after trying Marijuana for the first time; It then dissipated 2 to 3 days later. There is a trick to getting this to go away and I don't think it's even necessarily complex. At least in my own case, I am nearly certain that the only reason that it persists is because I'm totally neurotic and obsessed with it.
Medication helped me, and acknowledging the feeling and then let it go. Understand that you feel uncomfortable, and it is OK to feel uncomfortable. You don’t have to figure anything out or do anything about it. You just feel uncomfortable. The more you accept it the quicker it will go away. Don’t try to wish it away or get discouraged because it will only make it worse. Understand that you can still do the things you want and live the life you want even with this uncomfy feeling
