Narrative
I was the FA on the flight and was working with Captain (CA) and First Officer (FO) from ZZZ1-ZZZ. We landed in ZZZ and as I opened the Main Cabin Door; I was greeted by about six people. One from Rescue asked is everyone alright?' I said yes why? He said we had [requested priority handling]. I then noticed fire trucks beside us. I had no idea about anything happening until the flight deck door opened and then I heard some things...I was then told that we had a pressure issue and we had [requested priority handling]. To my surprise; I was taken back and waited until I could talk to the Captain after passengers deplaned. We (passengers and I) didn't have any indications of a problem and O2 masks did not deploy at any time during the flight. A few passengers asked why the fire trucks were there and I could not answer them. After everyone was gone and the Captain was off the cell and did paperwork on the aircraft; I asked him what happened. He told me we had pressure problems during the flight and that they had to [request priority handling]. I asked him why I wasn't informed of any of this and he apologized and said he was sorry. He said he was too busy..."
