I've been having a problem recently. When I swim, about 300 yds in, I get a really bad headache. This just started happening about two weeks ago. I have been swimming for about year now and have never had anything like this. The pain is unbearable to the point where it feels like a migraine.
If anyone has had the same problem please let me know. Are my goggles too tight? Maybe my swimcap? Am I depriving my brain of oxygen !? Any input would be greatly appreciated. I would like to be able to swim without this pain!

Just in case you weren't convinced, I third that advice! I am an occupational therapy student--in my education so far, I have learned that what you are experiencing may be the sign of serious trouble somewhere in your cardiovascular system--including the blood supply to your brain. I don't want to sound like an alarmist, but really, really, really, please, please, please go get this checked out right away. Better safe than sorry. And let us all know how you're doing.
Best,
Laura
