The astronaut who prompted NASA’s first medical evacuation earlier this year said Friday that doctors still don’t know why he suddenly fell sick at the International Space Station.

Zero gravity is completely unnatural, our biology is not accustomed to it at all. If we ever expect to have humans in space for long periods of time, we need a rotating wheel space station.
A rotating station would also be really cool to try out long term Lunar and Martian gravity closer to home. Out bodies kinda hate 0G, but what about 1/6 or 1/3 G?
Nah, crank that bad boy up for 10g, get some resistance training done!
Imagine a rotating stick space station where the G forces get progressively higher the further out you are

I think even a small amount of gravity will prevent all the fluid buildup issues because even if it’s low, having gravity means you can walk and apply pumping pressure on your fluids with your legs. The bone density issues will happen slowly unless you can get a cyclotron 1g occasionally.
