Doesn't your mind expand that to "I feel discomfort and become uneasy", or is mine just broken?
I feel[a] hunger, and I feel[b] sad. I feel[a or b, but not both] hunger and sad.
[a] transitive verb; a physical sensation, acting on the object (in this case, "hunger")
[b] intransitive verb [2]; an emotional state, described by the adjective (in this case, "uneasy")

EDIT: Clarity. Also, IANAL (I am not a linguist), and generally you don't want to take lingual advice from an engineer, like me.
Something about it being the same number of words and the least letters' difference; I can't rule out the possibility of a 'y'/'e' error.
