Narrative:
I was preparing for landing picking up trash when passenger passed me in the aisle at row 19 and entered the lavatory. I asked her if she was okay. She stated she was feeling hot; nauseous; and dizzy wanting to stand in the lavatory for a minute for some air; then she fell to the lavatory floor. I tried to catch her fall as her head hit the back wall appearing to faint. I asked are you okay; she responded quickly yes this has never happen before. I asked her name and if she had a medical history I need to know about (no). I told her she hit her head and I would like a doctor to take a look at her she said I'm okay again. I said you really hit your head hard I'll see if a doctor is onboard can take a look for you (okay). I called by hitting emergency button and both the flight attendant and flight deck crew answered. I said I have a passenger on the lavatory floor that hit her head while appearing to faint. She is responsive going to ask for medical assistance to take a look for her. Dr. X came back to the lavatory. Flight attendant B retrieved the blood pressure cuff and stethoscope and contents list. Dr. X stated the equipment was less than par. She stated she did not want paramedics to meet her and was feeling better. I moved her to row 20C so I could monitor for landing. Paramedics board and I assisted with her bag to exit her off the aircraft.she was hot; nauseous and dizzy. Stated she had worked long hours and was exhausted. Keep cabin temperature cooler in the aft of the aircraft. I had called earlier to cool aircraft down after my service however the aircraft seemed to cool off slowly. I ask the other passenger if they felt nauseous or hot they all felt okay.
