Confused grammar

I feel uncomfortable..... / I feel discomfort.....

I feel numb...... / I feel numbeness.......

What's the difference between these phrases?

one more question:

" My passport doesn't have enough pages. Can I apply for a new passport?"

is this sentence correct?

My passport has a few blank pages left. I want to renew it.

Many thanks.
