Headache

"In this case study we present an eight year boy who developed severe headache, but also some fatigue and dizziness at school after the implementation of 5G base stations close to the school. The RF radiation varied at the schoolyard between 83,332 and 267,536 μW/m2 and in the classroom including corridor between 2,560 and 76,590 μW/m2. Considerably lower levels were found in the home varying from 25 to 1,040 μW/m2. Protective clothes had a preventive effect on his symptoms. This case study is another example of the immediate need to halt the expansion of 5G and dismantle existing base stations."

"It can be assumed that more children at this school and other schools with 5G antennas in close proximity also suffer from symptoms caused by the increased RF-radiation from 5G. Children are generally more sensitive than adults to harmful environmental factors."

"In this new case report we describe a previously healthy family of a man, a woman and their three children that rapidly developed symptoms of the microwave syndrome after arriving at a summer cottage located at 125 meters distance from a mobile phone tower with 5G antennas. The most severe symptoms for the adults were sleeping problems, headache, tiredness, and irregular heartbeat. The children got sleeping problems, diarrhea, pain in the stomach, skin rashes, headache, and emotional symptoms. All the symptoms disappeared and health was restored when the family returned to their own house at another place with no 5G base stations."

"In this new case report a 49-year old previously healthy man is described. A 5G base station was installed 20 meters from his apartment. He rather immediately developed a variety of symptoms that are part of the microwave syndrome. Most severe were headache, dysesthesia (abnormal sensation), loss of immediate memory, high and irregular pulse, chest squeeze, burning and lancinating skin. Very high RF radiation was measured in his apartment, however much lower than the limits recommended by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP). After moving to another apartment with low RF radiation the symptoms disappeared or decreased within a short time period but they reappear whenever he returns to his apartment close to the 5G antennas. This must be regarded as a provocation test on health and 5G radiation."

"In this article we examine a family of three persons living at distances of about 50 and 70 meters to two 5G base stations. The base stations are located on the top of two 6-floor buildings and the antennas are directed towards the family’s apartment on the 4th floor on the opposite side of the street."

"The family members reported symptoms included in the microwave syndrome to varying self-estimated degrees. The daughter had the most severe health issues, for example sleeping problems, headache, concentration and memory problems, skin disorders, irregular heartbeat, light sensitivity, anxiety and panic attacks."

"In this case report we present a woman aged 52 years who developed health problems consistent with the microwave syndrome after installation of a 5G base station facing her apartment at 60 meters’ distance. These symptoms consisted of e.g., headache, dizziness, concentration difficulties, fatigue, arrhythmia, skin burning and nose bleeding corresponding to the microwave syndrome."

"This study confirms our previous publications on microwave syndrome caused by RF radiation emissions from 5G. Our three studies are to our knowledge among the first to have investigated health effects from 5G base stations. 5G substantially increases exposure to microwave radiation and in the present case, as well as in the previous case studies, the 5G deployment was followed by a rapid development of symptoms known as the microwave syndrome. Urgent attention is needed to the 5G health hazards by the responsible governmental agencies."

"After the deployment of 5G, both men developed symptoms typical for the microwave syndrome, e.g., headache, tinnitus, dizziness, balance disorder, concentration and attention deficiency, and fatigue."

"This case report may be regarded as a provocation study on health from 5G RFR. The clinical picture in both men was clearly related to the exposure, although the exposures were well below the guidelines recommended by ICNIRP that are claimed to protect against all health effects. We conclude that the guidelines for RFR exposure based only on tissue heating by ICNIRP are inadequate to protect human health and that 5G appears to provoke symptoms of microwave syndrome in previously healthy people."

"Results revealed that age and exposure duration (mainly call duration), both were the source of heterogeneity between studies. Furthermore, results showed that increasing call duration and mobile phone use in older individuals increased the risk of headache."

"The smartphone electromagnetic radiation was a primary migraine trigger. The study results led to the recommendation to avoid triggers by use of smartphone talking with hand-free devices to prevent a recurrent migraine."

"In conclusion, the data obtained shows that there is a relationship between the power density of radiation that a person receives at home every day and the presence of headaches, as well as the presence of sleep disorders. People who receive higher doses of radiation sleep less hours and have nightmares at night. In addition, these people suffer from headaches with greater intensity and are more prone to dizziness."

"From our study, it has been found that mobile tower radiation is the primary reason for the five diseases such as bone weakness, headaches, rheumatic pain, sleep disorders and hearing problems found in children. It is also noticed that 10 to 15 age group is more affected. The reason may be long term exposure since all the towers examined were installed at least ten years back. Another inference is that boys are more affected than girls. The reason should be medically examined. The exposure levels are found to be within the limits prescribed by ICNIRP and they conform to Indian Standards. But even then the exposure is found to be hazards to children. So the current exposure standards need to be modified."

"In this pilot study the talk for more than 7 minutes on a cell phone in most cases (60%) led to the spasm of the main cerebral artery in the assessed subjects, which indicates the high importance of EMR as a potential risk factor for headaches and other negative psychological factors (i.e. lack of attention, disturbance of the structure of sleep, irritability, memory impairment, etc.)."

"We conclude that long term exposure to ultra-high frequency radiation emitted from a 2G mobile phone could cause reduction in the density of neurons in the hippocampus region of CA1, CA2 and DGDB; increased neuron density in CA3 and DGVB region. Similarly, significantly lower nuclear diameter in the hippocampus region of CA1, CA2, CA3, and DGDB & DGVB of 2G exposed neurons. Thus the changes observed in the hippocampus neurons could bring about signs and symptoms connected with headache, lack of concentration, memory, anxiety and emotion."

"Our study showed that the number and severity of migraine headaches were concomitant with more use of mobile phone during the day and Wi-Fi per week. These findings indicated that some RF-EMF may be correlated with more severe migraine headaches. It is recommended that patients with migraine headaches restrict using mobile phone and Wi-Fi and replace them with a fixed-line telephone for their daily telecommunications."

"We noted that the use of MPs by children was significantly and positively associated with headaches/migraines and skin itches by an elevated risk of 42% and 84%, respectively. A wide range of subjective symptoms has been attributed to exposure to various sources of RF-EMF both at home and at work. Some individuals reported that they suffered a variety of complaints, including headaches and migraines, fatigue, skin itches, and sensations of warmth. Our study is consistent with findings in some previous studies."

"Young people who made heavier use of cordless and cell phones reported an increased prevalence of headache."

"Our analyses included data from 52,680 children. Children with cell phone exposure had higher odds of migraines and headache-related symptoms than children with no exposure."

"In a double-blinded EMF provocation procedure specifically designed to minimize unintentional sensory cues, the subject developed temporal pain, headache, muscle twitching, and skipped heartbeats within 100 s after initiation of EMF exposure (p < .05)."

"The weak but statistically significant associations between mobile phone use and migraine and vertigo deserve further attention."

"Results suggest significant effects on self-rated well-being, cognitive performance and the brain’s electrophysiology. The aggregate pattern of enhanced cognitive performance, headaches, and increased difficulties reaching and remaining in deep sleep, suggest that the exposure set-up resulted in an activation of the brain’s arousal system and/or its stress defense system."
