The alarming discovery is explained in a study conducted by Italian researchers at Guglielmo da Saliceto hospital in Piacenza.
In this unusual study conducted on 49 women with the average age of 53, Italian researchers discovered that cell phone use is responsible for a significant spike in blood pressure when used during the blood pressure readings.
All study participants were suffering from high blood pressure and taking blood pressure-lowering medications.
The research group underwent sets of several blood pressure readings. The readings were performed in what researchers describe as a relaxed environment where participants were left alone in the office.
During one of the blood pressure readings a researcher with anonymous caller ID called the survey participant few times.
[adrotate group=”5″]What researchers discovered was that when participants were disrupted by unexpected phone calls during the blood pressure reading their systolic blood pressure spiked quickly and remained elevated for a short period of time. The diastolic blood pressure was not affected.
Researchers assume that the cause of this sudden increase in blood pressure by cell phones has little or nothing to do with the radio frequency field generated by them, but rather due to an abrupt noise generated by a cell phone.
Survey investigators noticed that a sudden spike in blood pressure affected individuals more who were not considered to be “heavy” cell phone users, meaning that they receive less than 30 phone calls a day.
The undeniable truth is that we live in the world where cell phones are a big part of our lives. They serve as a main tool of communication in business, social relationships and everyday life- but they also have a hazardous effect on our health.
Taking into consideration the results of this unusual study, it is important to remember to stow your cell phone away or put it on silence during the blood pressure readings to ensure the most accurate results and, of course, to avoid dangerous sudden blood pressure increases.

I don’t have one and don’t want one. They are turning people into morons with the attention span of blowflies. Women especially.
Totally agree, Antonia. I also neither have one nor ever will own one. They are useful for business or emergencies, but the vast majority of people abuse their use by indulging in inane smalltalk, so often with the cursed thing glued to their ears where they walk around town like zombies, screaming into it as if it were a megaphone, so insecure that they cannot take two steps without the dubious assurance of their talking toy making contact with another zombie! No wonder they have BP spikes. I am 75, have just measured my BP and it is a healthy 117/74, without any medications! My advice: get rid of the darned thing!
I take my B/P twice a day at home. The instruction booklet clearly cautions against any movement while the device is reading the pressure. So I suspect this may also have a part to play along with the abrupt interruption.
I rather imagine that landline phones, doorbells, and even a very “untechnological” knock on the door would have the same result as the cell phone ringing, if the person felt they were expected to answer it (such as having one’s BP measured while at home).
I agree with Antonia and Dave. Nowadays everybody is so obsessed with technologies, it seems that people wouldn’t know how to survive without it. I remember times when we didn’t have a cell phone and nobody needed it.. Of course, it is great to have it in case of emergency. It’s just important not to become ” slaves” to technology and like Antonia describes a walking zombie, texting,talking 24/7 and not being able to let the device out of hands… Moderation is the key!
Don’t have one. did but am no longer traveling so don’t need one. I agree that we are becoming unnecessary slaves to technology. All we really need to do to solve a lot of our problems is to slow down, take the time to enjoy what we have not what we think we need.
Not rich but trying to enjoy the wonderful life we have been given on our ONLY HUMAN SUPPORTING PLANET that we currently know of.
I keep home records of my blood pressure for my doctor and found that My blood pressure skyrockets when I play games on my mobile phone particularly ones where you have to do things quickly in order to win.
Plus, I should have added, I take my BP after the game so movement can't be an explanation.
Not surprised with the results of the study, those devises always give me stress …and stress raises blood pressure.
My cell phone is for my convenience only. I do not like being available 24/7. I consider that an invasion of my privacy. Only a few people know my number, and I’m keeping it that way.
I’m also really tired of having to avoid morons with cellphones attached to their ears while driving. Most aren’t even aware they almost had an accident. Not using a cell while driving is pretty much on the honor system. I guess we don’t have much honor is this country anymore.
