feeling good is feeling happy; it's emotional.

feeling well is feeling "un-sick"; it's physical.

There may be differences here between American and British English. In British English, "I don't feel very well" (when referring to one's health) is a natural and very common form of words. There is no sense (that I've ever been aware of) that it's a hypercorrect or suspect form.
