Brief Answer:

Not a clear condition till now.

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a matter of public health debate and the focus of several studies.

Until now there are no clear diagnostic criteria and there is no scientific basis to link electromagnetic symptoms to electromagnetic fields exposure.

Well controlled and conducted double-blind studies have shown that symptoms were not correlated with electromagnetic field exposure.

So, other conditions should be excluded in order to suspect electromagnetic exposure as the culprit.

These conditions include stress, thyroid gland dysfunction, etc.

Hope I have answered your query.

Take care
