Medical - Medical (general) / Journal Article Title
Portuguese term or phrase: Sinto-me meio coiso
The title of the journal article is "Doutora, sinto-me meio coiso...". The article is about headaches and subdural hematomas. The phrase must be something idiomatic and I just can't find out what it means.

agree  Egon Lessa: Maybe "unwell", "funny" or "off" would do the job, but I'd probably go with "odd" as well.

I feel a bit under the weather.


Explanation:
It means a person does not feel completely well, which may have an effect on her/his mental health, too. Feels slightly ill.
