An airbus flight attendant complained about passenger illness; migraine headaches; cabin stuffiness ...

Narrative:

The new pilot directives regarding air flow on the airbus fleets are making pax and fas sick. The cabin is stuffy; we feel sweaty; clammy; and lethargic. Both pax and fas are developing headaches and feeling noxious; sometimes even to the point of getting physically ill. Although I personally suffer from migraines; they rarely occur at work but they have been coming on more frequently since this new procedure is taking place. The ventilation is not adequate and it is very difficult to work in such an environment.we deal with enough safety hazards that we should not have to have to vehemently argue with pilots to get proper air flow and O2.
