I was working Number 1 position. Approximately 25 minutes from landing; I noticed a fume smell in the cabin as I approached the first class/main cabin divider bulkhead. I called the Number 2 Flight Attendant and asked her if she smelled anything. She did; but was unsure as to what it was. We landed without incident and I informed the Captain as soon as he was available. As ZZZ Maintenance; etc.; were conducting their tests; they kept asking us to come onto the aircraft to see if we still smelled the smell. WHY WOULD YOU GO BACK ON THE AIRCRAFT; TAKE A BIG WHIFF OF A KNOWN TOXIN/EXPOSURE/POISON AND THINK THAT IT IS SAFE TO DO SO?! I did not go back on the plane except to obtain my bags. We were all; except the Captain; evaluated on scene in operations area by EMTs. No one went to hospital.My symptoms [were] light headed/dizziness; unable to complete thoughts/sentences; headache localized in the middle of forehead; burning/scratchy throat; malaise; tingling of arms and legs; somewhat general cognitive dysfunction. It took GREAT amounts of energy to focus on basic known tasks. In so much that if I had to evacuate the aircraft without assistance; I feel that I would have had difficulty due to the above symptoms. Results of EMT evaluation. My blood pressure was 147/9 over 97. My normal range is around 122 over 82-85. My blood glucose at this evaluation was in range of 107. When I was evaluated [one month prior] in the airport clinic; my blood pressure was approximately 120 over (less than 97). I have followed protocol for this event in regards to triage and medical evaluations. It was notated to us that this aircraft had at least 8 prior known incidences involving cabin odors. As well; the 'packs' and APU had recently been replaced.
A320 Flight Attendant reported fumes in the cabin. Captain requested Maintenance and paramedics on landing.
