I feel unwell this morning. Presumably you are asking for the sick leave while it is still morning and you are still feeling unwell.

Hello soothingdave,
If I use felt, which is past tense, I am sick in the morning today. But, I am okay now.
Is it correct?

If it is still morning, say "I feel unwell. I need to take a day's sick leave".
If it is no longer morning, say "I felt unwell this morning. That's why I didn't come in. I need to take a day's sick leave".
In most companies, you have to notify them as quickly as possible if you're not coming in so I would expect you to say/write "I'm unwell. I can't come in. I need to take a day's sick leave".
