Mobile
Phones Can Make Your Blood Pressure Rise
Daily Telegraph

Mobile phones can
make your blood pressure rise - claim Mobile phones were today at the centre of
a new health scare.
Scientists have discovered that electro-magnetic fields emitted by the phones
can lead to a rise in blood pressure, reports the Daily Mail.
The latest research will fuel concern about the safety of mobile phones, which
have already been blamed for causing brain tumours, headaches and fatigue.
Doctors at the University Neurology Clinic in Freiburg, Germany, carried out
tests by strapping mobile phones to the heads of ten young volunteers. They
found that blood pressure increased after 35 minutes of exposure to the mobile
phones. Although the rise was small, doctors said it could be harmful to people
who already suffer from high blood pressure.
Dr Duncan Dymond, consultant cardiologist at St Bartholomew's Hospital in
London, told the Mail: 'A sudden surge in blood pressure can cause problems,
especially for people with coronary artery disease.'
Alasdair Phillips
of Powerwatch, a consumer service which provides information on electro-magnetic
fields, said mobile phone sellers should be required to put labels on their
products warning against extensive use. He told the Mail: 'The study could
provide a medical explanation for the three to six-fold increase in headaches
reported among those using their phones for more than an hour a day. 'Mobile
phones should be used for essential communications only and calls should be kept
very short.'
The World Health Organisation has launched an investigation into whether mobile
phones can cause brain tumours.
Recent Swedish research also found a dramatic increase in headaches and fatigue
among people using mobile phones.
