This sensitivity has turned my life upside down, and I had to get out of that new living situation because I became so sick from EMR exposure. Since then I have struggled to find a good living situation, and now live in a shed where I try to control my exposure as best I can. Among other things, I avoid crowds, meetings, any group setting because of all the cell phones. It is very isolating, and I struggle with it every day. I am a senior citizen and never dreamed that I would be living the way I am at this stage of my life.\n\nDifferent exposures cause different symptoms, including depression, heart palpitations which can go into a sustained flutter, severe blood pressure rise, insomnia, bladder stimulation, headache, extreme tension and irritability among others. It is impossible to get away from it, and it has cost me a lot of money trying to shield and mitigate. It is all the more isolating because most people don't believe it is an issue. My life has become a misery because of it.","attachments":[],"attachment_inventory":true,"withheld":false,"source":"https://www.regulations.gov/comment/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-0444","tags":["health-experiences","sleep-cognition"],"source_hash":"0cc08ce156d1cb5c1f9fcbbc9468c741dc672e9af82ad668b8453081177c82cd","slug":"health-experiences-comment-0444","classification":{"id":"HHS-OASH-2026-0397-0444","body_sha256":"09e098399a75ff7817f4be13e2618735404fbfbc02d30c3c00fbe974e1c6a909","status":"ai_reviewed","primary_topic":"ehs","topics":[{"id":"ehs","evidence":"I became sensitized to EMR"},{"id":"access","evidence":"now live in a shed"},{"id":"neurological","evidence":"insomnia"},{"id":"cardiac","evidence":"heart palpitations which can go into a sustained flutter"},{"id":"children","evidence":"I am a senior citizen"}],"summary":"Describes severe self-reported EMR sensitivity after moving to an apartment building, subsequent housing instability and social isolation.
