I have a Meyer Lemon that I swear is doing the same thing.  
Nothing has changed but suddenly within the last week or so, All the leaf growth has suddenly turned crispy and acts like it’s dying. No sign of pests that I can see and no sudden change in water or fertilizer but suddenly I’d say it is on the verge of death and it is my only plant showing these symptoms! 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

How often are you watering? I would recommend repotting in a chunky soil , I would also check the roots and cut off any dead leaves.

im watering once a week ish. i dont usually let the top layer of soil get too dry.

I think you may be overwatering and/or the soil doesn’t have enough drainage so it’s holding to much water
