Medical - Medical (general)
German term or phrase: Übelsein
...reported as a medication side effect. Please note that Bechreiz is another entry, so 'nausea' may not work here....
Any ideas?
"Feeling sick" comes to mind, but I think it's too colloquial. I need a medical term.

Explanation:
or - feeling nauseated - comes to mind

Just about every medication has nausea as a possible side effect. Usually, if the medication is taken with food, this decreases the likelihood of that side effect.

Medications — Many medicines (including prescription, over-the-counter and herbal medicines) commonly cause nausea as a side effect, especially when more than one medication is taken at the same time.

Some medications can make you feel nauseated if you take them on an empty stomach, for example, so it's a pretty simple fix to eat something.

dizziness or malaise


Explanation:
I think either one of these terms would work here, depending on which way you want to go.

"malaise" means "general discomfort".
