Consumer Description

I BOUGHT A 2005 BMW X5 THIS MAY. I FEEL DIZZY AND NAUSEA EACH TIME I DRIVE IT AND I DIDN'T KNOW THE REASON UNTIL RECENTLY. I BOUGHT A GAUSS METER TO CHECK COMPUTER EMF IN MY STUDY ROOM RECENTLY. EMF IS SHOWING AS SAFE IN FRONT OF EVERY COMPUTER IN MY STUDY ROOM. TO MY SURPRISE, IT SHOWED AS DANGER AFTER I STARTED MY BMW X5, EVEN AT THE BACK ROW OF THE CAR. I TRIED IT IN ANOTHER CAR I HAVE, IT SHOWED AS SAFE ALSO. SO I THINK THIS IS THE REASON THAT CAUSED THE DIZZINESS AND THE NAUSEA. I AM NOT SURE WHAT TO DO WITH IT. I DON'T WANT TO HAVE ANY CAR ACCIDENT DUE TO DIZZINESS. *TR
