"i feel sick" vs "do not feel very well"

Both phrases are correct, but they are used in different contexts. 'I feel sick' is a common expression used to convey that someone is unwell or ill. On the other hand, 'do not feel very well' is a more formal way to express the same idea. The choice between the two depends on the level of formality you want to convey.
