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.

If you were sweating a lot, it might have been dehydration.

Also, you can tell if you're getting dehydrated by the color of your urine. If it's clear you're properly hydrated; if it's yellow, you need to drink more water; and if it's brown you're extremely dehydrated.

And if you're dehydrated, that will cause dizziness. I know it did for me. I had gone to the gym and exercised... and afterwards, I couldn't stand up because I was too dizzy (I kept trying, but couldn't stay upright). After going to the hospital, the ER gave me an IV and I went through three full bags of saline solution.

I never want to go through that again.
