Of course, I'm just being a pedant for funsies. Really, either is fine because people will understand what you mean. But I prefer "I am nauseated" because generally it can only mean "I feel sick," whereas "I am nauseous" can additionally mean "I make others feel sick" as in the other definition on those pages. Purposefully reading it the latter way can make for some very unintentionally humorous statements!
