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!

    Hugo- I think you just nailed my problem. I have always used clear goggles and just recently switched to dark goggles, oddly enough, right around the same time I started getting headaches. I wonder why the tint causes a headache? Oh well, I guess I'll just switch back to clear and see if that resolves the problem. Thank You
