TV footage showed him being placed in the recovery position after falling onto his back while breathing heavily.
Medics rushed onto the pitch to treat Terrier and he was eventually taken off on a stretcher.
Moussa Dembele was one man who appeared upset at the horror episode his teammate had suffered with the playing action not close as he collapsed.
Lyon confirmed at half-time of the Ligue 1 encounter that Terrier was conscious having fainted due to a drop in blood pressure.
The club tweeted: “Martin Terrier was a victim of a vasovagal attack earlier during [the first-half].
“Our player is better and has regained consciousness.”
Terrier was taken to hospital for further tests.

Karl Toko Ekambi came off the bench to replace the Frenchman.
Terrier progressed through the Lille academy before signing for Lyon in a £10million deal in January 2018.
This season has seen him feature 25 times, scoring four goals and earning one assist.
