Extreme Headaches While Swimming

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!

    I definately used to get headaches during workouts. Initially, thought it was my exercise-induced asthma flaring abit; but as it turned out I had a chronic sinusitus set up b/c of sinus polyps! Have you seen your internist to ask?
