nagging feeling
Lingering mental itch
A nagging feeling is a persistent sense that something is wrong or unresolved, one that won't go away despite efforts to dismiss it.
The feeling nags at you like a person who won't stop asking for something: I had a nagging feeling I'd forgotten to lock the door.
