Narrative:

At about 1 1/2 hours into flight, all 4 flight attendants felt symptoms of hypoxia. I've never in my 11 yrs felt these conditions in a flight (trouble breathing, chest pains, dizziness). Pilot said gauges looked normal. Captain is unaware of what could have caused this -- but it was definitely something! Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: the reporter stated that the flight attendants working in the forward and in the aft part of the plane experienced the symptoms simultaneously, and called the cockpit at the same time, not knowing the other flight attendants were experiencing the same thing. A few passenger also had the symptoms, but not the cockpit. The first officer didn't take them seriously, but the captain seemed more concerned, and said he would check it out, but never got back to her. The symptoms lasted for about 1 1/2 - 2 mins, but had everyone quite upset.
