Heart symptoms & implanted devices

I am submitting this comment in response to HHS’s Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure and am submitting from my perspective as a family member, caregiver , someone who has been physically impacted and as a concerned member of the public. We chose to have my elderly mother wear a Life Support brand device on her wrist to alert family and fire department in case she might fall. At night she would take it off. When she began leaving it on the dining room table the device would not be working the next morning. Numerous times we had to get a replacement by mail. Leaving her vulnerable during the "no device, in shipment" times. One day I realized that the electric company's Smart Meters for her apartment and 11 others were placed on the outer wall next to the dining room table. Having read about the charges carried by the meters I asked her to no longer place the Life Support wristband device on the table. Onc she stopped doing so we never had to replace another device. The sad part is that I had put up a sheet of EMF protective material on the inside of the wall in question. And yet it was not strong enough to protect the medical device. My personal impact occurred when taking my mother to a doctor's appointment at a local teaching hospital. As we entered the exam room I became short of breath, having trouble getting a full breath and my heart began pounding. This happened on two different occasions of walking into the exam room. But as soon as I left the premises the symptoms disappeared. I came to find out that my body was reacting to the effect of EMF's disrupting the oxygen saturation in my blood stream. Stories have been shared by my friends of hearing a high pitch whine coming from behind walls in their homes, of pets not entering rooms or showing fear of entering rooms with new wifi devices that they had once entered. I can not use a cell phone for longer than 15 minutes or my arm begins to tingle and ache. I support the department of HHS taking an active and directing role in examining the potential health and environmental effects of wireless radiation. It is now more important and timely - as more and more wireless devices are brought to communities and the marketplace - that questions about human health and risks should be addressed by federal agencies with appropriate expertise in medicine, biology, epidemiology, and public health, and it is imperative that the experiences of individuals and families who report being affected should be considered alongside the scientific evidence. The existing study/recommendation for cell phone exposure/use is long outdated and the technology has only become more specialised and of a higher and more intense energy yet we are relying solely on outdated guidelines or information supplied by the companies making, supplying and financially benefitting from the sales of the products in question. I urge HHS to carefully evaluate these experiences and the scientific evidence, identify gaps in current research, give particular attention to children and other potentially vulnerable populations, and establish appropriate federal research priorities regarding wireless radiation and public health. Thank you for providing individuals and families with an opportunity to be heard. This is a issue of national and international importance and urgency as the world relies on advancing technologies. Respectfully, Constance Frankenberg

EMF has effected me since before 5G, 5G makes me sick, headache, angry, pensive, want to curl up in ball and cry. Use 3 forms of protection on my body and many more in my home. We don’t have 5 G in our town yet but some ignorant moron just put up a tower right in the middle of our town The entire town will be under the DEW when they turn it on. I can’t go to big cities anymore to see my kids, the EMF makes my heart hurt and I can’t even begin to relax. It’s awful. You do know Scientists and the Military call Cell Towers DEWS, they know what’s going on and something needs to be done before they send a frequency through the towers that kills every living thing on this planet. I will be glad in the future when we can bring suit against this evil for the pain and suffering they cause a lot of people. There are no regulations and the Safety people of these companies are totally ignorant to EMF sensitivity. Told my Electric company not to put a Smart Meter on my property, they waited until I was gone and installed it anyway. I haven’t been able to sleep in my bedroom since. Called them to get it removed, they said it would cost me $1700-2000. The PREC so called Safety person didn’t even know what EMF is. So Pathetic! Something needs to be done. Or they can introduce 6G and it can kill all the morons that took the Covid 19. Either way something needs to be done or USA will be Italy or Ireland where the public are burning down Cell Towers for making their kids sick and killing them. The EMF laws are from 1996, and that’s totally insane, 40 year old regulations in EMF saturated environment. Sounds like it’s time to get up to speed or stop the EMF killing fields. But I know this is all about money and the government doesn’t give one shit about how EMF is hurting people. Can you tell EMF makes me angry? Should make everyone angry enough to do something! Especially the government! Do something!

September 30, 2026 I am submitting this response as an individual reporting my firsthand experience with wireless/RF exposure and changes in my health and functioning that I have observed over many years. For most of my life I was healthy. I went to college and graduate school, had part-time jobs, and then taught high school in Texas from 2012-2017. And then I got sick. There had been some warning signs, including migraine (starting 2014) and fatigue, but the illness became so severe and seemed to come out of nowhere in 2015. I saw 52 doctors over two years. None could determine what was happening or offer an explanation for the severity of my symptoms, and the primary treatment offered was various pharmaceuticals. Looking back, I see that several environmental exposures were occurring at the same time. I was working in a school where our classrooms were under a gym. A coworker across the hall had visible mold in his room. The spring before I became severely ill (2015), the Wi-Fi router in the building was upgraded and placed directly outside my room. The building I moved into to live had more than 50 floors and antennas on the roof, and was across the street from a hospital with its own antennas. Hundreds of people lived in the building, with their own routers, cell phones, and other wireless devices. I cannot determine which exposures contributed to my illness, or to what degree. However, over the years I began noticing a consistent relationship between reducing my wireless exposure and changes in specific symptoms. For example, health professionals have informed me that mycotoxins (which I have high levels of) are increased by EMF exposure, and that heavy metals in the body (which I have high levels of) are made worse by EMF exposure. This is an additional concern that other health concerns are made worse by EMFs. When I was staying with friends while trying to find suitable housing (2017-2020), I asked them to turn off the Wi-Fi router at night. I noticed a significant improvement in my sleep. I also told my cardiologist about my observations when I was undergoing a Holter monitor evaluation for heart palpitations. I had noticed that the palpitations were worse when the Wi-Fi was operating. I subsequently began reducing my wireless exposure wherever possible. I use wired Ethernet connections for my computer and phone, keep devices in airplane mode when possible, and not using Bluetooth devices. My overall health remains poor, but I continue to notice exacerbation of my symptoms with increased wireless exposure. I can often tell without looking at my phone whether it is transmitting or in airplane mode because I experience an intense frontal headache when it is transmitting. I have also experienced a significant change associated with the cell tower nearest my home. When the tower underwent an upgrade (2026), I experienced a substantial increase in headaches, migraines, head pressure, fatigue, and brain fog. These symptoms have affected my ability to function in daily life. I am currently exploring ways to reduce my exposure while sleeping, but remain exposed during most of the day. My experience has left me concerned about the cumulative and largely unavoidable nature of wireless exposure in modern life. I live in a rural area and have deliberately reduced wireless technology in my home, yet I cannot eliminate exposure because of nearby infrastructure and wireless signals in the surrounding environment. I feel like the canary in the coal mine: someone who experiences significant effects that may be associated with exposure levels that most people encounter without apparent difficulty. I do not claim to know what mechanism explains my experience or what conclusions should be drawn from it. I am asking that experiences such as mine be taken seriously as information worthy of investigation. I believe research should examine not only exposure levels under controlled conditions, but also real-world cumulative exposure, changes in exposure over time, individual variability in response, vulnerable populations, and what happens when individuals reduce their exposure. People should also have meaningful information about the wireless infrastructure and sources of RF exposure in and around their homes, workplaces, schools, and communities.

I am experiencing symptoms of Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure. I am experiencing a very complex set of symptoms that affect many parts of my body, alongside a history of heavy metals in my system. I am experiencing several nervous system and brain-related issues, including chronic tension headaches, dizziness (vertigo), frequent "brain fog," trouble concentrating, and short-term memory loss. My sleep is highly irregular and broken, and I have persistent eye-twitching. I also feel nerve sensations in specific areas, including a constant prickling feeling around my legs, a metallic taste in my mouth, and a burning sensation on the front of my legs that does not happen anywhere else on my torso. Every day, I feel sudden sensations of warmth and a fluttering or irregular heartbeat (palpitations). I have experienced infrequent nausea and active bleeding from both my nose and my rectal area. I have also developed itchy rashes on my neck, my ankles, and the backs of my hands. Finally, dealing with these constant, forced disruptions to my life has caused me to feel anxiety and depression.

In 2022 I moved, sight unseen, to an old mill building in central Massachusetts that had 5G cell transmitters on the smokestack of the building. After 6 weeks my POTS symptoms worsened. I experienced neuralgia of my forehead, my hands, and my forearms. I started to develop tinnitus and experienced extreme brain fog/impairment of my cognition. I would gladly give my account of the story to anyone who would be willing to listen. Jack Kruse's work saved my life

I hope these comments will make a difference. Once there was a roll out of 5G I noticed when holding my phone my heart would do fip flops or a-fib. I can't hold a phone for extended period of time or i nod off will cell phone in hand also I felt really edgy and anxiety at times. Also was getting headaches. They forced me to quit using my 3G phone cause they forced an upgrade. Also now there is a big push to get rid of landline phones. I have one cause I am sensitive to emf's.. They say you can keep your phone number but it shows people sitting next to routers. How crazy is that. They are forcing smart meters and putting them in peoples homes. Alot of people this s by their bedroom walls. This is unconstitutional forcing people to have smart meters that give off EMF's. This is more about good verses evil and money is the route of all evil.

For approximately the last six years, have experienced similar symptoms as survivors of Havana Syndrome have reported. This has been 24/7. Primarily a horrible tinnitus-like ringing in my ears. I only describe as tinnitus-like because there is nothing else someone not suffering from this might relate it to, but it is far worse, and yet every medical professional I have complained to has as best, written it off as tinnitus. At worst, I have been subjected to Mental Health Evals, and been accused of using drugs, having schizophrenia, or just an active imagination. The tinnitus-like ringing is only one, constant symptom though. Others are present as well and range from the debilitating effects described again by Havana Sundrome survivors, as well as similar at times to that Venezuelan guard described of what was later named the Discombobulator by President Trump: Completely disabling, on the ground, unable to move, think, or anything else. Nose bleeding, horrible pressure in my head, heart rate bouncing up and down, and digestive trouble. I have measured the energy density of whatever I am being hit with using an RF meter, and during episodes it far exceeds ambient rf/microwave levels at ~ 400-475 mhz, 800-930 mhz, 1.9 ghz, and 3-4 ghz. Electric Field density around 60 v/m. ....that I purchased an rf/ef/mf field detector in the first place should explain the level of disruption to my life. Furthermore, I am a Disabled US Army Combat Veteran, but the VA refuses to do anything about it besides writing notes in my file about paranoia. No testing, no labs, no MRI, fMRI, EEG, or Magnetic/Electric/RF field testing. No tests for TBI associated with exposure. Just Mental Health tests. Insult to injury.

The FCC's human exposure limits have not been updated since 1996 when people were using flip phones and many people like me didn't even have a cell phone yet. Cell phones today are like giant computers packed into a tiny powerful handheld devices and we have 5G cell towers, Smart meters, Smart appliances, watches and wearables, Ipods, etc This situation alone should be enough for HHS to dig into the decades of research on biological harm going all the way back to the 1970s from our own US military. We have never had an agency with any type of health expertise regulating this industry, Here is my story: In 2017, I was acutely injured by a Smart meter that was attached to my home without my knowledge or consent. One day I was a perfectly normal healthy person, and the next day I had all these strange and serious symptoms like headaches, dizziness, heart palpitations, inability to sleep, constant fatigue, increased gut and joint pain, terrible tinnitus, and overwhelming anxiety for no reason at all. I felt like I was being physically and mentally tortured whenever I was in my own house. The acute symptoms subsided when I was able to opt-out and get the Smart meter removed from my home, but the chronic symptoms persist to this day and I deal with most of these (tinnitus, dizziness, terrible fatigue, poor sleep, daily gut and joint pain, and high blood sugar readings despite daily exercise and my low carb, low sugar Paleo diet) every day and they increased even more when the highspeed fiberoptics were laid under the streets and the 5G cell towers erected above ground in my neighborhood during Covid. I have 185 cell towers and antennas within a 3 mile radius of my home and surrounded on all sides in my neighborhood by close range 4G/5G cell towers 1/3 mile away from my house. Even though I had my Smart meter removed when I was injured in 2017, the Smart meters on all my neighbor's homes on the 1/4 acre lots surrounding me are all emitting pulsing radiation 24/7. Even though I am hardwired through my cable lines and connections and the ethernet cords and adaptors throughout my house, I am still exposed to all the wireless radiation coming from my neighbor's Wi-Fi routers. Even though I had an electrician install three switches connected to my electric box so I could turn off all the electricity to my bedroom at night, I am still being adversely affected by the EMFs coming from the high voltage power lines going right through the center of my village two blocks from my house. You see because of the ubiquitous nature of wireless radiation today, I am being forced to live in a toxic soup of microwave radiation 24/7 that is causing oxidative stress to every cell of my body and causing all kinds of harmful health effects that destroy my quality of life, increase my risk of cancer, and reduce my life expectancy. These are all involuntary exposures with NO informed consent for me or my family members who are also being adversely affected even though they don't feel the harm like I do. In addition, every time I go into public places like my schools, my church, retail stores, restaurants, movie theaters, my local coffee shop, and especially airports when I have to fly, I am being blasted by both public WiFi and cell phone radiation coming from all the people scrolling and searching on their cell phones all around me (not to mention all the cell towers surrounding the buildings).. It's very hard for me to even stand in line at the store these days with people on either side of me and how powerful the new cell phones are. I am urging you to please consider the ubiquitous nature of all of these sources of wireless radiation (cell towers, Smart meters, cell phones, WiFi routers, Smart TVs and appliances, watches and wearables, Air pods and Smart devices, electric vehicles and charging stations, solar panels, and now monstrous AI Data Centers) and how they are exposing us to a toxic soup of microwave radiation 24/7 that we can't escape from anywhere anymore. Please use my personal experience and the thousands more you will receive along with the 10,000 pages of scientific studies of evidence of biological harm to humans and the environment to update the FCC's RF radiation exposure limits. This is the biggest environmental toxin we are facing in America right now and contributes to all of the chronic diseases that are destroying our children and bankrupting our nation (diabetes and obesity, infertility, dementia and Alzheimers, Autoimmune disease, Autism Allergies and ADD, Cancer). This is also national security threat and must be halted until new, real safety controls and updated human and environmental exposure limits are enacted and put in place. Thank you for urgent attention and action on this long overdue threat to American health, happiness, and liberty. I'm grateful RFK Jr is in charge of Health for all Americans and all our children because I know he cares and things are finally going to change!!

I want to share here what recent modern radiation (5G, various microwave towers, radio frequency, WiFi, etc.) exposures have done to my health and the health of others I know and have worked with. The body has never in its entire evolution, experienced something so foreign as our modern day, electromagnetic fields and radio frequency radiation. Our bodies respond as if the incoming signal were an invader. The result can be a range of symptoms that can then result in myriad health problems, many of which can be quite devastating. There is clinical data that shows certain forms of radiation cause cancer in human humans and animals! Within seconds of EMF or radio frequency exposure, the body recognizes at a cellular level the need to protect itself from attack. Unfortunately, the protein coating on each cell in the human body cannot recognize these forms of radiation because our bodies did not evolve to recognize these unnatural signals. I have personally experienced many negative effects of exposure to modern cell towers, microwave towers, and other radio frequency and wireless radiation. I know many other people who have experienced these effects, including many of my clients in my private practice as a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and Healing Arts Practitioner. These negative effects and symptoms include but are not limited to: nausea, headache, migraines, fatigue, dizziness, sleeplessness, and chronic insomnia, skin rashes, sore and or chronically dry eyes, vertigo, heart palpitations, and anxiety. As a health practitioner that cares deeply about my own health, as well as the health of others, I am deeply concerned about the ongoing implementation of stronger and stronger forms of radiation in and around our neighborhoods, schools, on public transportation, commercial and private aircraft, and various other places on our precious Earth! We have yet to even know the full ramifications of these types of radiation exposures to our animals, and all the creatures and plant life in the wilds of our world. We must stop the ongoing implementation of these dangerous forms of radiation!

Public Comment to HHS on RF/Wireless Radiation To the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), My name is Lisa Hildwine, and I am submitting this public comment to urge HHS to urgently and independently evaluate the potential adverse health and environmental effects of radiofrequency (RF) radiation, commonly referred to as wireless radiation. I appreciate HHS opening this comment period and taking a leadership role in an issue that directly affects public health. For too long, the health questions surrounding RF exposure have been treated primarily as a communications issue. In my view, this is not only about technology and spectrum management—it is about medicine, biology, neurology, cardiology, and public health, and it requires HHS-level attention. Family health impacts and why I am concerned I am writing as a family member who has witnessed severe and escalating medical and neurological events that I believe warrant urgent investigation for possible links to RF/wireless exposure. Beginning in 2017, my son experienced serious health and neurological changes across multiple settings including home, jail, and hospital. These concerns worsened significantly in 2026. In 2026, my son had ER visits and inpatient diagnostics at two hospitals (September 2026). During this period, there were events consistent with severe neurological compromise, including stroke-like symptoms and behavior that was profoundly out of character for him. There were also concerns for a possible cardiac event. Additionally, a traumatic brain injury (TBI) was documented on MRI, without any known external physical incident that would explain the injury. I understand that a personal experience does not prove causation. However, I also know that public health agencies have a duty to investigate credible reports and patterns—especially when exposures are widespread, increasing, and often unavoidable. Targeting, harassment, and the need to evaluate real-world exposure conditions I also have documented concerns about harassment and targeting beginning in 2016. I am asking HHS to recognize that “real-world exposure” is not always a simple consumer-choice scenario. Some individuals may face conditions that involve coercion, abuse, surveillance technologies, and an inability to escape exposure, particularly when they are in controlled environments. High-risk populations: incarcerated people and trafficked individuals I am especially concerned about populations who have little to no ability to reduce RF exposure or leave the environment, including: Incarcerated people Trafficked individuals and others under coercive control These groups may face higher exposure, limited medical advocacy, barriers to documentation, and reduced access to independent evaluation. If RF/wireless exposure can contribute to neurological or cardiovascular events, then these populations may be disproportionately harmed and least able to be protected. Additional note: congressional request for documentation I also note that Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna (Florida’s 13th District) has requested that I submit documentation regarding these concerns. I am including this statement here to underscore that these issues are being raised not only by individual families, but also through constituent communications with elected officials. Closing Thank you for the opportunity to comment. I urge HHS to approach RF/wireless radiation as a public health issue requiring urgency, scientific integrity, and compassion for families reporting harm. People need health agencies to listen, investigate, and act. Sincerely, Lisa Hildwine Tampa, Florida 808-398-8670
