Fenella, who used the devices to run her OnlyFans account, started suffering from head and neck aches
A 29-year-old woman was left bedbound and required a wheelchair to get around after using her mobile phone for 14 hours a day. Fenella Fox says that being on her phone and tablet for long periods of time each day left her with severe vertigo.
Speaking of when she first started to feel ill, the 29-year-old recalled: "I started to get dizzy. I remember walking back after getting my groceries one time and I just thought it was sunstroke or something, I just didn’t feel okay. She explained: "I’m in bed, I’m scrolling from wake until sleep. What I don’t know is at that point I’m making myself worse.
She visited a doctor who conducted a series of tests as Fenella said: "I had a serious problem with my balance." The OnlyFans creator was in Portugal when she felt seriously ill and had to fly back to the UK. The 29-year-old claims if she uses her phone for several hours it can bring back her dreadful symptoms which take three or four days to clear up again. She said: "With vertigo they do advise that you get up and go for a walk.
