We purchased a house in Lake Arrowhead CA. and the SMART METER was located just outside the window of our master bedroom. Within a few weeks my wife experienced sleepless nights, rapid heartbeat and hair loss. We were aware of EMF and 5G and decided to look at the SMART METER. I purchased an EMF meter and went outside to see what the SMART METER was putting out. I stood about two feet from the SMART METER and every 4 seconds it would \"SYNC\" and overload the EMF meter. According to SCE they only \"SYNC\" a few times an hour. We were able to \"OPT OUT\" of the SMART METER and went back to the old Analog meter. This fixed the problem. \n\nWe now live in Big Bear CA. at our retirement home and have found we can't go to our town area because of a large 5G tower in the middle of it. My wife will get dizzy, eye twitches and loss of balance after a few minutes. \n\nI have hard wired our retirement home so there is no WIFI in the house. We do not sleep with our cell phone in the bedrooms. \n\n\n\n\n","attachments":[],"attachment_inventory":true,"withheld":false,"source":"https://www.regulations.gov/comment/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-0541","tags":["health-experiences","sleep-cognition","exposure-places"],"source_hash":"66769a6218841c087bdf74bf5253fc4d77ad499d6784ea92e01c8dede44f460c","slug":"health-experiences-comment-0541","classification":{"id":"HHS-OASH-2026-0397-0541","body_sha256":"27415f2122cf47c4d8dd44db06367486357d19222aa924397e8d3fca6398387e","status":"ai_reviewed","primary_topic":"smart-meters","topics":[{"id":"smart-meters","evidence":"SMART METER"},{"id":"cardiac","evidence":"rapid heartbeat"},{"id":"neurological","evidence":"sleepless nights"},{"id":"infrastructure","evidence":"large 5G tower"},{"id":"optical","evidence":"hard wired our retirement home"},{"id":"wifi","evidence":"no WIFI"}],"summary":"Reports a spouse’s sleep and heart symptoms after a smart-meter installation, improvement after an analog replacement and later problems near a tower.
