Narrative:
During cruise at AA55Z, I was informed by a flight attendant that we may have a medical problem. Approximately 10 mins later, I was informed that the problem was under control. The passenger was a little dizzy and had gone to the bathroom. At AB36Z, a flight attendant requested paramedics to meet the aircraft. The passenger was in and out of consciousness, having difficulty breathing, losing a lot of body fluids. When I was notified of this problem, I was at FL330 and 150 NM from sju. I notified ATC and sju operations of our situation. Paramedics were requested through sju operations. I landed at sju 24 mins later and was at gate within 27 mins or our notification of this passenger emergency.
