Heart anxiety

Worries; feelings of dread; inner preoccupations that trouble a person.

("The reason is that one should not pray there because of heart anxiety. And Shema does not require intention of the heart except for the first verse alone" - Commentary on the Mishnah by Rambam, Tractate Berakhot, chapter 2. Likewise: "Shabbaton was originally stated primarily about the peace of mind and joy of the soul, and this applies to festivals in which there is rest and no heart anxiety over the matters of this world" - Abarbanel, Leviticus chapter 23. Likewise: "He sought to embrace and hug them... but because of heart anxiety he did not draw near to them" - Agnon, These and Those, Hinnadach, 10)
