Brow and Forehead Numbness!

Brow and Forehead Numbness!

5050479?1257460358
On and off for about 6 months, but it occurs almost every day at some point. I really don't think it's anxiety, as it comes at the strangest times like when I'm watching a basketball game and I'm not thinking about anything or playing a video game, reading something, when I first wake up, and so on. Just can't pin it down.

I have been battling some form of sinusitis but 2 ENTs think I've got LPR/GERD causing my PND and something else causing my slightly inflamed sinuses. However, I have NO frontal sinuses, totally hypoplastic.

In the picture the red is where I almost always feel the almost pulsating numbness, like it's been shot with novacaine. The blue area is where I feel it sometimes but not as common. It's very isolated, the numbness. I thought, maybe because I was gesturing/expressing with my eyebrows so often my muscles were tired? I make a lot of faces hehe. This is very annoying though, and day to day it gets me very frustrated when it creeps up.

Meant to say simple, what do you think it could be? Any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I also hurt the back of my neck about 7 months ago. Had a cervical spine MRI which was unremarkable except possibly very mild swelling of a few ligaments. My neck hurts to this day. Because of the traction of the facial to neck and back muscles, could they be related?
