TinyTina, please indicate in your Tatoeba profile what is your strongest or native language, and also which other languages you know.

This particular sentence seems to have no subject. Some languages may allow a sentence to have an understood or implicit subject, but at least in this sentence it would be considered unusual.

"To puke" is a verb used mainly in a situation of great informality, while "to vomit" is perhaps more used in a formal or medical setting. I think the phrasal verb "to throw up" is probably the most common English way of saying this.

Try this instead:

I feel a little nauseous, but I'm unable to throw up.
