There were obviously things going on before the flight took off and the landing was scary as hell, I’ve flown hundreds of times and never seen anything like it. Also it could have been an issue with the bleed air system as it was an older 767 and this is a scary regular occurrence where there is toxic fumes released into the cabin, sometimes causing life altering health defects. OP I would go see a doctor, or at least read about the dozens of lawsuits that Boeing and Airbus have settled before trial relating to this matter. The pilots did an amazing job getting us home safe, but this was a truly terrifying experience whatever you want to say about entitlement toward compensation.
I will echo this. We went from a maintenance delay to the pilot telling everyone to sit down ASAP in literally 2 minutes so we could take off to avoid losing our spot in line. When the landing announcement was made without context, it was damn scary.
