Brief Answer:
This is probably jet lag syndrome

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX
Thanks for using healthcaremagic.

Travelling overseas in different time zones results in development of jet lag syndrome. This generally lasts for one week to 10 days and self limiting.
If your travel date is within this limit (7-10 days) you are requested to sleep at newer time zone as far as possible.

If you already crossed this time period it is time to visit a doctor to know the possible cause. In different countries different infective agents can cause various illness and you need to get tested according to your travel history.

'Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help".
Thanks
