Narrative:

I was working the beverage cart about 3/4 of coach completed. A passenger in row xe rang the call light. Passenger in xd was unconscious and extremely pale, 74 yr old female, mrs X of smf. After shaking the passenger and issuing verbal command, I went and got an oxygen walk around. I put it on the passenger. Her son and daughter-in-law were a few rows ahead of her. I told them that she was ill. I continued to feel her pulse, which was slow. I then went to the cockpit to inform them of the situation. I was told by the captain that we would be landing at ama. We had paged for medical personnel, but got no response. On taxi-in to ama, I again checked on mrs X, she was responding and said she felt better. The firefighters met our flight. He said her lungs sounded 'wet,' but could find no other symptoms. I had explained that she was unconscious, but breathing. Her remark to xe, who rang the call light was, 'I don't feel very good.' she told the firefighters and emt's that she doesn't remember passing out. We later looked up in her record that she had been admitted to an ama hospital. She also told the emt's that she had no medical history of any illnesses. I had asked that question to her son. I felt it was in the best interest, of all, to land and get her medical attention, especially since no one responded to a page for medical assistance.
