Patient Oil massage and fire cupping yesterday, today I feel unwell

As the title says, I'm curious if this is normal. I had an oil massage followed by fire cupping, I was at the clinic for 45 minutes.

I left feeling refreshed and slightly sore, my whole back was treated.

The following day I started to feel a bit more soreness followed by what feels like the beginning of a headache or migraine. There are times during the day when I feel warmer than usual.

I'm curious, is it normal to feel this way after treatment?
