Would this work? "Ŝajnas al ni, ke la muroj pli proksimiĝas al ni. Ni akiras kajut-febron. Ni devas eliri por mallonga tempo."
Dankon denove!

By the way JK Kabano would be better than Kajuto.
Edit: on reflection, the origin of the expression 'cabin fever' probably does come from a restlessness induced on log ship voyages, when one is cooped up in a kajuto.
For some reason, however, I find kaban-febro more pleasing on the ear.

Of these, I find the most attractive, mur-malsano. The question as to whether it would be immediately understandable in context needs testing.
I was looking for a translation of oppressive. Opresia/oprima ought to be intelligible for English and Romance language speakers, but doesn't lend itself to snappy compounding. Sufoka seems too literal.

sudanglo:Ni enklostriĝas. Ni devas eliri kelk-iam (kelkan tempon).Enklostriĝi – I love it! And kelk-iam, too! Kaban-febro does roll from the tongue, doesn't it? Warmest thanks!

In less literary style (intelligible to all) one could talk about sento de enfermiĝo.
La enfermiĝo komencas krispigi miajn nervojn.

sudanglo:From the reactions so far to my post in the Esperanto forums, it may be that mur-malsano is too opaque."Krispigi miajn nervojn" – I laughed for five solid minutes. That's delightful! Any kind of response on the Esperanto forums to "kaban-febro"?

However on a more serious note, there is a real uncertainty in Esperanto in the creation of metaphors.
Although krispigi la nervojn seems to me to be a perfectly reasonable image, the job of finding evidence for its acceptability is not trivial.
Actually, in the Tekstaro the verb most used with nervoj is streĉi (itself a metaphorical use). But tension-inducing is not quite the same as agitation or restlessness or getting on one's nerves
