What happened to Jessica Robb?

While doing her routine reporting duties, Canadian reporter Jessica Robb abruptly started to slur and repeat words on the live show while speaking with anchor Nahreman Issa. In the video that quickly became viral online, Jessica Robb can be seen having trouble speaking and running out of words. She may also be seen at one point appearing bewildered and wobbling. The young reporter was almost seen fainting as she lost control. Later, the cameraman switched the broadcast from Robb to Issa reporting from the news studio. While apologizing to the anchor Issa, Jessica said that she was not feeling very well. "I am about to just...," she continued. Issa interrupted and said that they will come back to her and make sure that she is doing okay.
