What Causes Pain All Over The Body After A Long Flight?

Yes. Symptoms are throughout the body and present as flu-like aches. They present when patient is slightly dehydrated and after a massage. Patient feels like he has food poisoning or flu, but these are not the case. Whenever on a long flight, beyond 3 hours, he gets these symptoms and after his last two massages. Basic vitals and all standard tests for bp, cholesterol, diabetes, O2 sat, heart rate, kidney, liver function are all normal. Any ideas? Thank you very very much for your expertise. Sincerely, CJ

I have reviewed your query and here is my advise.

You don't have to worry as per mentioned symptoms. Dehydration can lead fatigue. It's advisable to maintain hydration with lots of water. Muscle strain also can be possible. Paracetamol sos taken only if pain more.
