3) I used to have a similar problem.  Most of my 
headaches were caused by high exhertion (current, work, 
etc.).  I could feel them coming on during the dive.  To 
prevent this I take 2-3 Ibuprofen before dives and I no 
longer have this problem.

You're kidding, right? Well, actually it appears not.

Now I have absolutely no idea what "Ibuprofen" might be ... but you use
this stuff because you tend to get headaches? Whilst diving? Really?

Have you established just why you might  (regularly, it seems) have
these headaches? As in cause and effect? From the tone of your post, I
suggest, NOT.

At a pretty rough guess may I suggest that

might (_might_) be a pretty good clue as to the cause being hypercapnia?

Look it up!

And WAKE UP. Taking drugs, ANY drug, (regardless of what "Ibuprofen" might
be) is NOT a brilliant way, a panacea, to advance your diving career
without knowing the cause and effect. Actually it's pretty bloody stupid
in the extreme.
