Hello
Thank You for contacting HCM. My name is Dr Muhammad Ali Rauf & i will look into your problem.
I have gone through your query and would try to help you in the best possible way. Long journeys/trips make your body tired & exhausted. Hormone levels along with basal metabolic rate also alters. When back from a trip, your body takes some time to readjust and brings everything back to normal. I would suggest you to take adequate rest for few days and take healthy balanced diet. Hopefully you will recover yourself soon. If it persists or interferes later with your daily routine then we can go with further workup to rule out any pathological cause.
Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help if not then don't forget to close the discussion and rate it.
Wishing you good health !!

Thank you. I've also had a bit of a headache & am having a hard time keeping up with my normal routine. I have to stop & sit down because I'm afraid of passing out. And I've had blurred vision.

Thank you for the followup query.
I would suggest you to take rest for few days with healthy diet. Apart from that take acetaminophen twice a day for 2 days & cetirizine one at night for 3 days. Hopefully they will resolve the issues and you can get back to your daily routine.
