If you're still having problems talking, that's a sign of a stroke.

Also, were you dehydrated? That can make you dizzy.
And was it warm or hot? That could cause heat exhaustion/stroke.

Both of those could cause your conditions. The passing out, the confusion, and the slurred speech.

(I've had a number of cases of heat exhaustion in my life. And I've had severe dehydration once... and once is all I ever want to experience.)

I don't ever get time to just stand around and drink water so it could be dehydration. I was sweating. It was cold but I move a lot and I'm always drenched in sweat since I never get a moment to stop. There aren't any official breaks for us. Its usually possible if we slow down and we can just take a rest but unless you smoke, you're bound to get fussed at for doing nothing on the job. None of my smoking coworkers seem to have any troubles with going out and smoking though..

With how busy it was, I don't get time to stop and drink water or go to the bathroom. The lack of a thirty minute break or even a ten minute break pisses me off. I've gotten used to it though.
