Default RE: Migrane after diving?

The headache went away within an hour but for a good 20 minutes after getting on the boat I was done. I didn't want to move. I didn't help with the anchor. I didn't stow my gear. Nothing. The pain was behind my eyes / forehead. Not in the back of my head at all.

I may have been inadvertantly skip breathing. I was trying to be cautious with my air. Taking slow deep breaths and slowing exhaling. Seems like a lot of people get headaches after diving, but this one was bad. I need to take the nitrox course and try it.I have read a lot of reports of not having the diver's headache on nitrox.
