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!

    Do you wear a swimcap? Eons ago I had an accident and got stitches in my forehead. My doctor insisted that if I was to swim, I had to wear a swimcap. I tried a workout wearing the rubber cap and I got the worst heat-headache ever! I tore the cap off, the headache went away and I never wore one again. Interesting about tinted lenses. I never noticed any difference, but it's good to know when buying replacements.
