23/f grad student. Three weeks ago I started getting these sharp pains in my head all over the place lasting about 10 seconds. Now I have tension in my neck and back. Ringing in my ears like they are full of water and still have random head pain in random areas of my head. I never used to get headaches but my doctor says they are tension headaches. I had blood work done and still waiting on the results should I push for an MRI or am I letting my anxiety get the best of me?

Hi and welcome. I have had those from time to time. It scares me when they happen, too but I have been told that it is nothing to worry about. I hope all of your blood work comes back normal.

Wait for the blood work, then set down with your doctor and make him/her understand your fears.
Personally i feel its something thats not serious, but believe what the doc tells you, Peace

My advice to you is to go to a chiropractor and get an adjustment.
