"anxiety" is a very broad term and in your context I would go with "uneasiness"

maybe "akathisia" if a medical tern is required

https://books.google.com.ar/books?isbn=1483192938 -
Malcolm Lader, ‎Issac Marks - 2013 - ‎Health & Fitness
The extrapyramidal effects such as restlessness and mild akathisia (evocatively termed in German, “innere Unruhe") are extremely upsetting.
