I'm with Andy..

If I feel nauseous I can usually finish a set and take a break before I puke.. I rest as much as I need to.. Sometimes I don't rest at all, sometimes I take 5 minutes.

Just make sure you breathe when you move..

It's kinda funny. I work out at the house and my wife was in the kitchen. I told her to come spot me on my last set of bench. She came out and laughed and asked how I expected her to pick up that much weight off me if I couldn't finish the rep(230lbs). I told her don't worry about it she wouldn't have to lift that much she'd just have to help a little if I couldn't finish. Well I hit the first nine clean, the ninth being difficult but clean. I figured I had a spot so I was going for number 10, well I got down to my chest and about 3 inches up I hit the wall. She started to help but it wan't much help. So I push like hell to get the weight up and finally got it to the top. Needless to say my whole upper body was pretty much purple by the time I got it up. The puking was nothing more then a little over pushing my limits. I was only nausiated for a little while and then yes I finished my workout and felt fine. I think my mistake was I drank my protein only 20 minutes before my workout. Usually I drink it about an hour before I lift. I't's not a common problem I have. I just had to push like hell. That might not seem like alot of weight for a lot of you monsters but I must say I was pretty happy about the 9 clean reps. It's 20lbs heavier then what I hit last week. 20lbs in a week, I'll take those kinda results all day
