Uneasiness in Malayalam

Uneasiness of mind is അസ്വസ്ഥത (aswasthatha), the noun for a mind that will not settle. It takes in restlessness, agitation and the vague discomfort before bad news, and hospitals use it for bodily discomfort too. The word is formal enough for a doctor to write down yet common in ordinary conversation.
