Narrative:

Passenger X was found unconscious during a beverage service. She was traveling with her daughter, son-in-law and 2 grandchildren sitting in the row in front of her. Flight attendants immediately checked her for breathing and pulse while laying her down in the row. Another flight attendant requested the help of a physician or nurse on board and we received both. At the same time a flight attendant kept in constant contact with the captain and I retrieved the oxygen walkaround bottle. Oxygen was administered and passenger eyelids fluttered and she appeared do regain consciousness. The nurse and physician agreed that a stroke was possible and captain made decision to land in phx, where we were met by paramedics.
