Hi Lisa
First of all you have my sympathy in terms of the EMF soup like environmentyou are living in. It cannot be good for you and my heart goes out to you.Secondly, I'd say that when I first became ES one of the first symptoms I experienced was something very similar to what you are describing - I wouldn't have said mine was actual dizziness or lightheadedness but certainly a feeling of chest tightness, without any pain, and a difficulty in getting my breath and a feeling of what I would describe as anxiety [when I had no reason at all to feel that way] which I tried to quell with yoga and deep breathing and gentle walking to no effect. My only relief was to leave the house for 3-4 weeks and when I went back that feeling at least had gone but the ES feelings were still there. It is extremely worrying nad it can'tbe doing you any good. I am sure it is not feasible or maybe even economically possible but have you thought of trying to move house to a better
environment?
I hope that by the time you get this post things have subsided a bit and become more comfortable for you.
Best wishes
Steph

I am curious to know if anyone else has experienced similar symptoms--
I live in a house very near one of the busiest airports in the world,
with Magnetic Field readings of between 5 and 50 Milligauss (depending
on how close you get to the powerlines running through my backyard)
and every one of my neighbors has wi-fi; there are 50 cell towers and
upwards of 450 antennae w/in a 4 mile radius of my house.
EMF sufferer's nightmare, in other words.
I have been sugar-free & simple-carb- free for almost 5 years, and
completely grain-free for over 6 months. We do periodic cleanses,
juicing, raw foods (esp. dairy) and lots of fermented foods as well.
I think it's safe to say our diet is pretty healthy.
I've tried numerous products to help with my EMF symptoms. They
either did nothing or only helped for a few months.
Now, in addition to the usual sleep disturbance, chest tightness,
headaches, etc., I have been having dizzy spells.
They come on quite suddenly, out of nowhere. I get this funny feeling
in my upper chest--not painful, just sort of like when you're really
excited about something and you get that gaspy sort of feeling--and
then I get very lightheaded. Sometimes it lasts only a second or two,
sometimes it lasts for hours. Sometimes it is severe enough that I
have to sit down. Fortunately, I have not lost consciousness from it
yet, but I am very afraid I might.
Again, there is no pain when this is happening, and aside from the
normal chest tightness, my breathing is not affected; however,
breathing deeply (to the extent possible) does not help dissipate the
problem.
I am nearly certain this is connected to my EMF problems, and though I
would love to go to a doctor and try to figure it out, I have a very
strong sense that any tests they run will be inconclusive, because I
have no other symptoms to indicate any heart problem, etc., and I am
young--only 35--so I don't think it's age related...
So I took a look at the archives and I saw some posts describing
lightheadedness, but I wanted to know if what I am describing is
indeed a common symptom, or not...
Thanks for your help,
Lisa
