Brief Answer:
Sinusitis is a possible explanation.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for using HCM.
I have read your question and understand your concerns.
I examined your tests results too.
Elevated WBC count, together with elevation of neutrophils count point towards bacterial infection.
Since you are referring about symptoms behind the eyes and then spreads to other head areas, it is very likely for you to suffer from sinusitis, or sinuses infection.
In the other hand, since the WBC are elevated and there are neurological symptoms, other conditions besides sinusitis, such autoimmune diseases that affect nervous system too ( lupus, multiple sclerosis, encephslomyelitis etc.) should be considered too.
MRI exam will give valuable information about the correct diagnosis, but if its results will be inconclusive, neurological evaluation and other blood tests such ANA, ESR etc. should be done to achieve a correct diagnosis of your condition.
Those symptoms don't seem to be linked to GERD, or hiatal hernia.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
I remain at your disposal for further questions and clarifications.
Greetings.
