Feeling Like My Body is Stuffed with Cotton Balls

For the last two days, it feels like my body has been stuffed with cotton balls - kind of like static. Similar to dissociation, but entirely physical. Has anybody experienced this? For more info, I am also exhausted, weak (full body), and am having an increased heartrate (could just be a POTS flare because I've had difficulty moving).

I completely relate. I find I have to ride it out for a bit. Sometimes getting the motivation to go on a walk, I like at dusk, can blow the feeling away for a little. A cool shower, or just so much rest you've managed to recover through a kinder method haha
