Narrative:

I was flight attendant #1 for first class. Passenger approached me during boarding at dfw and said passenger seated next to him was ill and she vomited. I immediately went to her and asked her what was wrong. She said her stomach was upset. I got gingerale for her. I then talked with her several mins. I explained to her we could get medical assistance for her there in dfw if she needed it. She insisted it was just her stomach, and she was ok to continue to birmingham. I then let the captain know she wasn't feeling well, but she wanted to continue and felt she could. During flight, she slept off and on. I checked her 3 times (2 times she was asleep, one time I offered her more gingerale). When we landed, she was the last one (other than the unaccompanied minor) to deplane. She had a heavy bag, and I offered to help her carry it. She walked down the steps in front of me and started walking toward the terminal. She started to stagger. I saw her drop to her knees then fall face first on the concrete. I ran to her and rolled her on her back, laid her flat, no response to verbal/physical, checked for breathing. Her eyes began to flutter, and she was able to speak. I ran back to the plane to ask captain to call for help. I placed oxygen on her face. She was able to communication with me. I took her pulse and it was 18 beats in 10 seconds. I asked if she was diabetic. She said no, she didn't think so. I gave her some sugar in cheek just as a precaution. Left oxygen on her. Turned her on her side in recovery position until paramedics arrived and took over.
