I feel discomfort reading “I feel discomfort and uneasy” because discomfort is a noun and uneasy is an adjective.

You can both "feel discomfort" and "feel uneasy", so I think it works.

No. You see:

    void feel(x: Noun)
    void feel(x: Adj)
"discomfort and uneasy" is actually an instamce of the superclass of Noun and Adj, but there is no overload for that so it doesn't compile.

With better heuristics and fuzzy logic, our IDEs should detect and handle such usage without hassle.

I suspect that sort of autocorrections would be AI-complete.

I agree with this fellow human.

You must be a robot. If you'd written your post in capitals though, I'd totally have fallen for it.

Doesn't your mind expand that to "I feel discomfort and become uneasy", or is mine just broken?

My mind expanded it to "I feel discomfort and I feel uneasy," since both work. You can feel nouns and you can feel adjectives, just in a different sense. It sounds weird, because we like to construct our logic with parallelism [1], and in this case we're using different definitions of the word, "feel". This makes pulling "feel" out front in an associative manner less correct.

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.

I semantically autocorrected to "I feel discomfort and unease".

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.

That reminds me of a line from Green-Eyed Lady by Sugarloaf that I've always liked: "Setting suns and lonely lovers free"

It's the perfect way to convey that feeling, so I'm stealing it now.
