Most mobile phone users have become so 'addicted' to their phones that they even keep them on their bedside tables or pillow when they go to sleep - this is really not a good idea.
Where is the problem? The problem is that there are serious mental and physical problems associated with cell phone use. Symptoms and conditions resulting from electromagnetic sensitivity accumulate over time, becoming more severe as exposure to cell phone radiation continues.
Hearing problems:
Ringing in the ears, tinnitus, can be one of the first signs that your mobile phone is starting to affect you. Unexpected ear pain, along with difficulty maintaining balance are other indicators that you may be experiencing electromagnetic sensitivity.
Problems with Cognitive Functions:
As your head is directly on the 'receiving end' of your mobile phone's electromagnetic waves, your ability to stay mentally sharp and aware can be affected. Of course, as lack of concentration and confusion result, it will be harder for you to connect the seemingly innocent cell phone with your problems. Memory will also suffer and learning new tasks will seem to take forever, partly due to an inability to concentrate.
Neurological Effects:
Neurological problems can masquerade as other illnesses, and connecting them to your cell phone can be difficult. Sudden onset of dizziness and nausea without any identifiable cause, as well as insomnia, can be ways that electromagnetic exposure affects you. If you seem to get the flu when it's not flu season, this could also be a sign that your nervous system is starting to suffer.
Breathing Problems:
Sometimes it can be difficult to distinguish between a common cold or flu and when these symptoms are caused by electromagnetic radiation from your mobile phone. However, if the cough and throat problems persist, as well as the sinusitis, or if you develop asthma suddenly, your cell phone could be to blame.
Cardiovascular Problems:
No one needs to be told how serious heart problems can be. You may be suffering from electromagnetic hypersensitivity if you notice that your heart rate has suddenly changed, or if you start to feel pain in your chest. Shortness of breath and fluctuations in blood pressure can also be signs that your body is reacting unfavorably to cell phone use.
Ophthalmological Symptoms:
Although many eye problems can arise from everyday work, any that manifest in a short period of time, when you have not previously had difficulties, can be related to your mobile phone. Eyes that sting and hurt, altered vision, and the development of eyelid 'tics' could be the result of electromagnetic exposure.
Emotional Problems:
Physical problems are often accompanied by emotional problems. A change in your perspective, such as depression, anxiety, anger, and mood swings, can be caused by the radiation from your cell phone. Sudden bouts of crying and feeling out of control are unpleasant, and can be caused by the electromagnetic radiation that enters your brain when you talk on the phone.
Problems with Musculoskeletal System:
We often take the ability to move freely for granted, so when anything happens that causes damage to this, we notice it quickly. Weakness and muscle cramps, as well as joint pain, all affect our movement. Electromagnetic sensitivity can also result in leg or foot cramps, and tremors in the limbs.
Dermatological Problems:
Skin problems may be one of the last things we would associate with electromagnetic sensitivity or hypersensitivity, but it is quite true that it can cause many skin conditions. The appearance of severe acne, irritation or rashes could be the result of using a mobile phone. If your face becomes swollen or red, you should consider reducing your phone usage.
Genitourinary Symptoms:
Any disturbance in the genitourinary tract will quickly and unpleasantly manifest itself. You may find yourself running to the bathroom with some urgency, which can be a real problem at work or while traveling. A change for the better in your sweat will signal a problem not only to you, but also to others around you. Sensitivity to electromagnetic radiation can be the root of these problems.
Gastrointestinal Problems:
Related to the symptoms mentioned directly above, electromagnetic sensitivity can also cause changes in your food preferences as well as changes in appetite. Certain foods that you used to enjoy may now cause stomach problems or allergic reactions. The unpleasant phenomenon of flatulence can also be related to the use of your mobile phone.
Sensitization:
Electromagnetic sensitivity can cause problems with the way your body reacts to its environment. Allergies may develop, and you may become sensitive to light, chemicals, smells, or noise. If these conditions occur after you have started using the mobile phone, the phone itself may be the reason.
Other Physiological Problems:
In addition to symptoms that can be associated with a specific part of the body, there are other problems that can arise in a more chaotic way. Brittle nails and an itchy scalp, along with unexpected hair loss, could mean your body is reacting to radiation from your cell phone. Women may notice that their menstrual cycles have become disturbed.
The link between infertility problems and cell phone and other EMF radiation exposure is also very strong.
Symptoms of electrical sensitivity
One of the most comprehensive studies on electrical sensitivity symptoms is a Swedish study compiled as part of the RALF investigation. By far the most common complaint associated with EMF exposure, including cell phone exposure, was skin problems.
- Skin problems
- Light sensitivity/eye problems
- Fatigue/weakness
- Heart problems/high blood pressure
- Headaches/migraines
- Pains in the joints/muscles
- Vertigo
- Difficulties in concentration
- Nausea/general ill health
- Memory disorders
- Endocrine reactions
- Respiratory/lung disorders
- Stomach problems/intestinal disorders
- Numbness
- "Flu"/throat problems
- Sleep disorders
- Hearing problems/tinnitus
- Shivering/convulsions
- Anxiety/depression
- Blurring/confusion
- Fall/fainting
- Asthma/allergies
- Speech difficulties
- Irritability
Note: This is only about physical symptoms, what you might typically experience when exposed to cell phone radiation and other EMF devices. Thousands of studies link these exposures to a long list of diseases, medical conditions, including cancer.
If you use a mobile phone, you should be aware of the risks. You should keep in mind that using a cell phone near your head means that you are emitting a constant stream of electromagnetic energy near your brain. The ear, with the mobile phone firmly pressed against it, will receive the first part of this radiation, and this is where many problems begin.
Being aware that your cell phone can cause a whole host of problems and affect your health is the first step. The next step is to protect yourself from this radiation. Click here to read how to protect yourself from cell phone radiation.
