Seedy
Significado: Feeling unwell, especially from a hangover.
To feel 'seedy' is to feel off-color, slightly unwell—often specifically hungover. It's slightly old-fashioned British slang. 'Seedy' also means shabby or disreputable, and there's perhaps an overlap in the disheveled hangover appearance.
