Pt with post HD nausea

We have a male patient who seems to get very nauseated about 3 hours after dialysis. He says it only happens on dialysis days, but on the machine he is fine. He does get Zofran 4 mg po for the nausea during his treatment, but it doesn't always seem to help. I actually feel he thinks that if you are on dialysis you are going to be sick, BUT I want to give him the benefit of the doubt and look into possible causes. He is on very few meds, and only gets EPO while he is on the machine. Any experience with this??
