Not related: If you were allergic to your retainer, the reaction would be local in your mouth. Your nausea does not seem to be from it. Do you have post nasal drip? Nasal allergies? Or acid reflux?

Evaluation: Talk to an Orthodontic Specialist. Referral to an Allergist or to a GastroEnterologist may be in order.
