You thought you knew the meaning of this word, didn’t you? “I felt nauseous” is incorrect usage. The word actually means, “To cause nausea.” Thus, the correct usage would be, “I felt nauseated.”

I know this one all too well unfortunately.
Did not know that, great to know!
This is one that I hear misused very frequently.
Thanks for the correction.
You are quite welcome!
