I am a flight attendant (2 months now) and I have been getting sweaty, lightheaded and nauseated while working my flights. What is the cause? I drank a lot of water today so I don t think it s dehydration. I fight to keep from passing out. I never experienced any of this while flying as a passenger b
It almost sounds to me as if you are developing or have developed some symptoms consistent with motion sickness. It also could be that as a passenger since you were never required to put attention on two specific tasks that you could ship your attention at any time to other things and thereby stave off any onset of motion sickness. However, as a flight attendant you have to be doing certain things in a repetitive fashion at times which does not allow you to shift attention as frequently so that symptoms of motion sickness may develop. Think of what happens to some people who Chat Doctor.
