Has anyone experienced this? I feel like I'm going insane.

I've lived in my flat for the last 8 years. No issues. It's a one bed flat on first floor. There's an identical flat next door and 2 below us. No one above. Oldish building, timber floors.

Last December new neighbours moved in next door. Shortly after I started getting vibrations into my flat that cause:

-Motion sickness
-Funny feeling in my ears
-Dizziness
-Almost like a seasick feeling
-Heavy chest

It's not neurological as it stops when I step outside. It's definitely tied to their activity. It stops when they're out. I lived with the neighbours below for years and there's no change in their flats so I don't think it's them. Not internal either as I turned off electricity to test, my carbon monoxide detector works fine etc.

2 friends confirmed they feel it too when they're around. I had a chat with the next door and they don't know what might be causing it. They don't seem to have anything unusual in their flat that might cause this.

Has anyone experienced anything like this at all?! What might be causing this?

I had this badly in a previous rental from apartment above. It was rumbling machine gun & explosion sounds & intense vibration of the walls when they played their war type video games. It was horrible.
