Within this context, you could use the word "nerves," which means the feeling of "nervousness," "stress," or "anxiety." Ex: I think there's always some stress whenever I miss a day of work. Ex: I think there's always nerves whenever I go to the doctor. Ex: I think there's always some anxiety whenever I fill in for someone else.
