I would see a doctor as soon as you can, I get the same headache after a long swim could be lots of things, You're not on a low carb diet are you?

The brain requires a minimuim of 32 g of carbs a day to survive - really strict carb diets can cause headaches.

Very rarely is that the cause of those types of headaches.

Dehydration would be the first thing I could think of, after that most of those things would require a doctor, if your vision is blurring tho, I would suggest seeing someone - I wont go into it too much, but the entire brain swelling and staying swollen is something to get checked out.

it may not be the case but usually that type of pressure is caused by the brain being swollen Just better to be safe than sorry. Most of the bad stuff you are too young for so I doubt it is anything horrid... maybe just a migrane

Other than the PM I just sent you- this just poped in my head so I tried to look..

Have you been spending more time at the computer or driving in the past few days before the headache started? I can't tell in any of your pictures really how your shoulders sit, when you stand up right do your shoulders stay over your hips or are they infront of your hips ( not in a strait line) and does your neck come strait up, or does it kinda lean forward?
