queasy feeling
Unsettled stomach sensation
A queasy feeling is mild nausea or stomach unease, the sensation that you might vomit though you probably won't.
The phrase extends to psychological discomfort—unease about a situation that feels wrong: I had a queasy feeling about the deal from the start.
The physical and emotional often blend: moral qualms can produce actual queasiness.
