Generally, in space, astronauts & cosmonauts are in a constant state of free fall--the same feeling when you go down a large hill in a roller coaster--but for several hours/days/weeks/months.
So primarily, motion sickness.
But also, the human circulatory systems has evolved to exist with gravity. In orbit, these mechanisms malfunction, and fluid tends to accumulate in the head--causing puffy eyes and faces.
Typically, people adjust to these changes in a day or two. Some unfortunate people never adapt, and have a miserable time in space.
