Due to tiredness.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The symptoms that you are having are likely to be due to change and environment and tiredness. Taking a healthy diet and doing a regular mild exercise will help you feel better. You can also increase the intake of electrolyte rich fluids to decrease dizziness.
Since there is no fever or other suggestive symptoms there is no need to worry. You will feel better soon.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
