I do a test comparing these two drugs.

I did a test THAT compared these two drugs.

I would like to emphasize / stress / address this issue. (Three of them are correct?) <<< YES, but not all mean the same.

I feel a little worried / worry. (Both adj and noun are correct?) NO, just the adjective.

I feel sick or I HAVE A headache.

II am sick of seeing it. This means I AM VERY TIRED OF SEEING iT. A dead mouse in front of me, maybe)

I ~~feel sick~~ or I am sick of doing the same job everyday. I DO"T LIKE MY JOB ANYMORE.

John AkiThis one is good ~~comparing~~ / compared to others.

Good.

John AkiI do a test comparing these two drugs.

Good.

John AkiI did a test ~~compared~~ comparing these two drugs.

Changing 'do' to 'did' in the first clause does not affect the next clause. The part that governs tense is not included in the phrase "comparing these two drugs".

In the previous sentence, we infer "(I am) comparing the drugs". In this sentence immediately above, we infer "(I was) comparing the drugs". The "comparing" part is the same.

John AkiI would like to emphasize / stress / address this issue. (Three of them are correct?)

Yes. You can emphasize or stress the issue. That means you focus strongly on it. You highlight it. Or you can address the issue. That means you are going to do something about it. You want to turn your attention to the problem so that you can solve it.

John AkiI feel a little worried / worry. (Both adj and noun are correct?)

Correct, yes, but the noun is not used like that very much. 99.99% of the time it's "feel worried".

John AkiI feel sick or I am sick with headache.

OK.

John Aki~~I feel sick or~~ I am sick of seeing it. ( A dead mouse in front of me, maybe)
~~I feel sick or~~ I am sick of doing the same job everyday.

Probably not "I feel sick of ...".
Stick with "I am sick of".
