Does Mobile Phone Usage Increase BP?
I have been using a smartphone for over two months. IN the past I used a simple flip phone. I am 65 year old woman in fair/good health except for Hashimotos sarcoidosis, mild hypertension, sarcoidosis of lymph glands in remission for 7 years. Since using the phone, I have noticed my blood pressure rising at night. I notice at times the phone is hot to my ear. Can this radiation generated heat cause a rise in blood pressure?

Hi. Mobile phone use is not known to cause a increase in bp. Plz visit your physician and explain this to him for adequate drug titration. Hope it helps. Take care.
