| A strange odour and simultaneous headaches are not a good combination!
I would imagine that the AC charge of R-134 should have been quickly depleted had it been the cause of the symptoms - but stand to be corrected.
Please have the cause confirmed and insist on driving another of the same type around for a few days if the service department finds no fault with your car.
Gaseous emissions from a modern auto interior are well documented and will be amplified by the climate control system. Glue, dyes, textiles and treatments among other sources will add to interior air pollution.
One obvious cause of nausea would be COx emissions into the cabin - this should be taken very seriously. Current engine tech outputs a cleaner exhaust stream than past motor cars where such a leak would have been more obvious to the vehicle's inhabitants.
Said another way - engine exhaust leaks into the passenger cabin can be 'quietly deadly'.
