Hello,
Instead of saying 'constant' or 'persistent' fear, can we also say 'endless' or 'steady' fear?
Thanks.
persistent, constant, endless, steady

Re: persistent, constant, endless, steady
"steady fear" is not idiomatic
"persistent" and "constant" are similar
"endless", having no end, may or may not be constant
