The type(s) of wireless technology or RF/EMF source(s) involved e.g., mobile phones, Wi-Fi, smart meters, wireless infrastructure, wearable devices, occupational equipment).\n\n\nThis comment involves wireless technology or RF/EMF sources\n\nb. The nature, duration, frequency, and approximate timing of the reported exposure(s).\n\nConstant elevated exposure in an apartment complex, living in a city\n\nc. The potential adverse health effects experienced.\n\nIn 2023 I started waking up in the middle of the night with my heart pounding and head heaving a pressure. I felt like I had so much pressure on my body, that I was not able to put up with it. We traveled out of the apartment complex into farms in a van with my husband and I started sleeping through the nights and felt immediately different overall. We felt a difference as soon as we left the city. Then upon returning we got a little device that was for private use and reportedly could lower EMF exposure, once it arrived, my symptoms lessened. In 2025 we traveled out of the United states to South Africa where there was no infrastructure even for 4G and 5G, we experienced a drastic shift in our overall happiness and well being not just in us, but people surrounding us. 5 months later when we returned to Clearwater we experienced our thoughts scattered and a physical shock on our bodies so much that we decided to immediately move out of our apartment complex. We discovered widespread mold issues in the apartment complex too. Temporarily we moved downtown, where 5G towers were visible even. My symptoms became worse, kept waking up in the middle of the night and had daily headaches, I started to become forgetful and generally extremely stressed. We purchased a device called EM Guard which could reduce EMF exposure down from a measured 2400 units to 0 in an instant. It’s a harmonizing device. My headaches instantly disappeared and I felt a huge weight lifted from my chest. I can see on my environment that people are numb and less present compared to people in South Africa. The difference is noticeable only for us, who have traveled in and out of the exposure areas and experienced the actual difference.\n\nd. When potential adverse health effects first appeared relative to when exposure began and whether any changes in exposure coincided with potential adverse health effects.\n\nPlease see above included in my answer.\n\n\nh. The types of potential adverse health effects reported.\n\nHeadaches, forgetfulness, stress, increased mold, lack of focus, overall wellbeing reduced, mood and ambitions got worse\n\ni. Onset of potential adverse health effects.\n2023\n\nj. Characteristics of the individuals or populations involved, excluding any identifying information such as PII or PHI.\nPrivate individual\n\nk. Any observed exposure patterns.\nThe exposure in the city and rural areas has been a constant, we experienced our symptoms going away to farms or traveling out of the continent into a less developed country (symptoms immediately improved) and symptoms immediately came back coming back to the exposure\n\nl. What standardized methods were used to assess exposure or potential adverse health effects, if any were used.\nEMF Meters","attachments":[],"attachment_inventory":true,"withheld":false,"source":"https://www.regulations.gov/comment/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-3856","tags":["health-experiences","sleep-cognition","exposure-places"],"source_hash":"982d676ce33efc14270d4effb1f794132180fc694c9e65cc4d3201aaf98d50ca","slug":"health-experiences-comment-3856","classification":{"id":"HHS-OASH-2026-0397-3856","body_sha256":"ae97eabb96b4ec554e2d644160f594223c85eddd15228d276ddb3e5333725230","status":"ai_reviewed","primary_topic":"neurological","topics":[{"id":"neurological","evidence":"waking up in the middle of the night and had daily headaches, I started to become forgetful and generally extremely stressed."},{"id":"cardiac","evidence":"ed waking up in the middle of the night with my heart pounding and head heaving a pressure.
