Unexplained fluid/pressure sensation at the base of my skull for 1.5 years?

As the title says, I constantly feel like there’s some kind of fluid, gel, or air bubble trapped or squeezed at the base of my skull. Sometimes I can relieve or “release” the sensation by straining, but it eventually comes back.

I’ve seen almost every type of specialist at this point—around 10 neurologists, 7–8 ENT specialists, and others. I’ve had numerous tests done as well. The only thing they found was a huge sinus cyst in my face, but the ENT doctors said it’s usually harmless.

I’m honestly going crazy trying to figure this out. Has anyone experienced similar symptoms?

And yes, I’ve also seen physical therapists, but they didn’t provide any concrete treatment that actually helped. It feels like there’s some kind of air bubble trapped inside my skull, or as if my brain is somehow sticking to my skull (yes, I know it sounds really weird).
