iPhone 6 Plus headache and migraine

Don't go into a coffee shop or movie theater!!! Make an appointment with a doctor. Tin foil wrapped around your head might help until you in for the meantime. BTW, city buses are load with cellphones. Sit to the front of the bus where there are less cellphones.

I have same issue with Apple 6s. I got headache and toothache if i texting or using Iphone in a minutes. I think Apple should withdraw this product because harm to customers health

Toothache, now that's a new one. As has been noted, repeatedly, sudden, servers headaches should be evaluated by a doctor as soon as possible. They can be the sign of something very serious. The doctor will tell you what the actual cause is.

I have been having migraine issues for about 12 years now. The migraines eventually lead to vertigo, with the uncontrollable spinning usual accompanied by nausea and vomiting. After several trips to the neurologist, medicine for the migraines, and countless exams by the ENT, I have narrowed down the cause of the A-typical migrants. When I look at my cell phone for too long, I start to feel the beginning of the migraines. I am off of my medicine now and if I don't look at ,y cell phone throughout the day, I feel great. So don't let anyone tell you you are crazy for feeling this way.....I'm convinced that there will be research on day showing the negative effects of cell phones on our brains.

Good point deggie.....my issues were really mild 12 years ago. No need to go to the doctor when things first started. Stress from work initially caused some of my issues. It wasn't until recently that the severe vertigo started happening and I needed to seek medical advice. 2 years ago I was finally diagnosed with A-Typical Migraines. I was put on Nortriptyline (med for migraines) and it kept the issues at bay. I titrated off of the meds and now just handle the symptoms with ibuprofen and imitrex. The MD wasn't able to tell me what causes the migraines.....but now, I have found that if I don't look at my cell phone throughout the day (I have an iPhone SE now), I have less to no issues with my migraines. The second I start checking fantasy or text someone my head gets all swimmy and starts down the path.....hope that clarifies.

Yes, and I can be on my computer for an extended period of time with no ill effects. The issues happens primarily when I look at my phone. The phone is the Main Trigger for the episodes. I'm searching the web to see if there is any research correlating cell phones and migraines. That's why I replied today

Do not just "search the web". You can find people saying anything about everything on the web. Plugging "cell phones and migraines" into a search engine will get you all manner of nonsense. You want to consult something like Pubmed. Then, if you find articles about research on migraines, you need to look at the research methodology, sample size, controls for co-founders, background and possible biases of the investigators. Also avoid anything involving Dr. Mercola or his ilk as they are simply cranks.

You also may need to accept the fact that you will never be able to know the trigger for each and every migraine. In over 40 years of migraines, I'd say I can identify triggers for maybe 20-30%.

Even better than searching the web, dateacha33 should see a doctor who specializes in migraines. They exist. And they have a lot of knowledge, tools and meds that can help. Not a GP; a migraine specialist.

I concur. I suspect my attempt to point out that researching medical issues on the internet is not an easy task for the nonprofessional may be ignored. You're answer is more direct.

I too am experiencing " PRESSURE" more than a headache for the past 3 months since buying my IPhone 7 Plus and I never have headaches. What can be done other than using the speaker. My hitech son has changed all his family's iPhones for SAMSUNG as he has researched and says Apple cell phones have the high radiation

And the answer is still the same. See a doctor. There is no ionizing radiation from any cell phone ever made, and hundreds of extensive and extended studies have found no health effects from using any cell phone, including iPhones. As cell phones have been around for over 30 years and in that time all competent studies have found no health issues from using them most reasonable people would assume that any symptoms have nothing to do with the phone.

Is your "hitech" son a physicist? An electrical engineer? A doctor? Reading a lot about technology on the internet and buying a lot of it doesn't qualify anyone to diagnose the cause of your headaches. Mind you neither a physicist nor an EE would be qualified either but, at least they might be able to talk sense about radiation.

A little background - I am very sensitive to Bluetooth. Any time I am around or using it, I get these headaches exactly what I am describing here. First thing I always do when I get my phones is shut off Bluetooth and everything has always been ok.

Given that, any time you are in a group of people, many of them probably have BT turned on on their phones, if BT were causing the problem, just turning it off on your phone probably wouldn't make a difference. The same is true with NFC. Many android phones have had NFC for quite some time. You've been around it but haven't known that you were. If you've had a headache for 12 days, you may have a serious medical problem. You should see a doctor, not a phone forum. Best of luck.

Having Bluetooth turned on and having it paired with another device emits different wave signals. Turning bluetooth off on your phone disables the radio and stops transmitting any microwave signal.

Bluetooth devices do not use microwaves (0.3GHz). They use the 2.4 to 2.485 GHz range. But, my point is that other people can have paired BT devices on them and be in close proximity to you without your knowing about it or able to control it. The range on an NFC device is, yes, much smaller than that of BT. But, that doesn't prelude people from being close to you with it turned on. Please let me know if there are any other bits of science I can explain.

Best of luck.

I can't speak to the effects of Bluetooth and NFC, however, I have noticed that because the glass on the iPhone 6 is rounded at edges, when moving the phone slightly in a lit environment, the edges reflect the light and I often perceive lines shooting up and down the sides which has on on occasion started aura distortions for migraines.
