queasy stomach
Feeling slightly sick
A queasy stomach is one that feels unsettled and on the verge of nausea—that rolling, uneasy sensation that something might come back up.
The phrase describes both the physical symptom and the general state of digestive unease: The boat ride gave me a queasy stomach.
Unlike outright nausea, queasy suggests a milder, wavering discomfort.
