Human Factors
About 20 minutes into flight at FL240 FA (Flight Attendant) informed us that [a] passenger was having trouble breathing and eyes were rolling into the back of her head. We were approximately 30 miles from ZZZ and weather was VFR. I gave FO (First Officer) controls and [advised ATC] and began to divert to ZZZ. I informed ATC of situation and requested medical at ZZZ. I informed Dispatch; passengers; and FA we'd be on the ground in less than 10 minutes. We landed at 43000 lbs and taxied to gate where medical was standing by. I had passengers remain seated while medical tended to passenger. Passenger was taken off aircraft and to hospital.
