Sorry Sumon, but none of your examples sound natural. Perhaps you are confusing tension with stress? " But, the best synonyms for tension are: strain, stress, anxiety, pressure; worry, apprehensiveness, apprehension, agitation, nerves, nervousness, jumpiness, edginess, restlessness; suspense, uncertainty, anticipation, excitement Example: 3 months of tension between the military and the government strained relations.
