## Discrepancy

DURING DESCENT, FLIGHT ATTENDANT ADVISED 3 OTHER FLIGHT ATTENDANTS EXPERIENCING HEADACHES AND NAUSEA. 1 FLIGHT ATTENDANT UTILIZED OXYGEN & WAS MET BY PARAMEDICS FOR EVALUATION.  WE WERE INFORMED THESE SYMPTOMS WERE EXPERIENCED BY THE 3 FLIGHT ATTENDANTS WORKING LEFT SIDE OF A/C.  THEY INDICATED NO ODOR PRESENT AT THAT TIME.  MAINTANCE RAN AIRCRAFT WITH PACKS AND ALL ELECTRICAL POWER FOR APPROXIMATELY 12 HOURS, NO SMELL OR ODORS NOTED AT THIS TIME.
