More details to this question:
I had been sick for two days due to the heat and the day I returned I began feeling dizzy while on break. My boss then left the restaurant and returned with her son. When she got back she told me she had to let me go, because of my condition. I was still doing my job and on break when all of this happened.

It is likely that you can be fired. If you are an at-will employee for the company, you can be fired for any reason that the company sees fit. If you have a contractual relationship you should examine the contract to determine if a breach exists.
