Narrative:
Strong oil smell during water walk. At row 16 aft. Passenger at xxd said he smelled an oil odor. We called the captain and he said he had just turned off something and it should go away. It did go away. As we started the beverage service D flight attendant (flight attendant) said she felt hot and flush. We did the beverage service. During the trash pickup I started feeling strange like the plane was swaying and I felt a bit foggy. When B flight attendant and D flight attendant got to the back; I asked them if they were feeling ok. They said they were feeling strange. I called a flight attendant up front [and] asked her how she was feeling. She said she was not well and thought it was just her. The captain was on the line and heard us. He said we had just made a bunch of turns and that may have been the reason we were a bit queasy. We all had various symptoms from nausea; headache; chest pain; and dizziness. We were taken to the hospital. Air quality issue.
