Narrative:
I was working position B on aircraft X. I was very well rested and it was day 4 of a 4 day trip. Everything seemed very normal until after takeoff. As we ascended the C and I both begun to feel nauseous and dizzy. At first we didn't mention it to each other but as the flight progressed we both continued to feel dizzy and off balance. As the flight went on I continued to feel almost disoriented and a bit cloudy. We let the pilots know how we were feeling and they had paramedics meet us upon arrival in ZZZ. I will say I felt better once we were on land (less dizzy) but continued to feel cloudy minded and had a noticeable tremor. Our O2 levels and vitals seemed okay so they gave us the choice to be pulled from the flight. However it was day 4 and we both felt like we could make it back to ZZZ1 to finish. The leg back to ZZZ2 did not seem as noticeable but I do think I was still dizzy (almost vertigo like) and foggy minded. As the evening progressed (I commuted home to ZZZ2 on [another carrier] that evening) I had a sore throat and coughed through most of the night. I still have a slight sore throat. I never smelled anything; which is something we thought was strange but I definitely have never experienced those feelings in my year and a half of flying. I am currently already on another 3 day and I definitely think I'm still exhausted from the experience but I do feel better.
