As a child this was really frightening. Walls looked like they would crush me and at the same time being super far away. Started to panic and cry. Doctor couldn't find anything, maybe because of my inability to explain the symptoms properly. When i got older i found out that i could stop it in minutes by alternatingly focus on something close and the horizon. It's definitely something gone wrong with depth perception in those moments.
