persistent unease
Chronic low-grade anxiety
A feeling of discomfort or anxiety that won't go away—a low-grade worry that lingers in the background rather than spiking and subsiding.
The unease persists even when you can't identify its source: There was a persistent unease about the project that no one could articulate.
Distinguished from acute distress by its chronic, nagging quality.
