Narrative:
Number 1 flight attendant reported an odor in the forward galley; I went back to investigate and inhaled the odor while attempting to identify its origin. After about 20-30 minutes being exposed to the odor; I became light headed; nauseous and developed a sore throat. I assessed my fitness for duty and determined I was not fit to continue.once the odor was verified by the other crew members; maintenance was called address the issue but they were not able to smell the same odor all 5 crew members had identified. Due to the disagreement; we remained on board inhaling the fumes/odor which caused my crew and I further discomfort.as soon as the fumes were confirmed; I should have walked off the airplane.
