Dialysis for many of us, though not all, has left me weak to the point that I needed a wheelchair to leave after each session. Feeling like a jellyfish is common where you just want to lie still or sleep afterwards for a few hours. Everyone is different. My reactions may be worse than others. Nausea is a constant challenge as well. Talk about this with your Nephrologist and RN and other patients at your clinic.
