EHS is the same as microwave sickness. It's just another name for the same illness.

Functional brain MRI in patients complaining of electrohypersensitivity after long term exposure to electromagnetic fields
PubMed 2017
“All ten patients had abnormal functional MRI brain scans. The abnormality was often described as hyper connectivity of the anterior component of the default mode in the medial orbitofrontal area. Other abnormalities were usually found. Regular MRI studies of the brain were mostly unremarkable in these patients.”

Electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS, microwave syndrome) – Review of mechanisms
Elsevier 2020
Yael Stein MD, Iris G. Udasin MD
These are small quotes from the text:
“Electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS), known in the past as “Microwave syndrome”, is a clinical condition characterized by a broad spectrum of non-specific multiple organ systems that typically occur after a person’s exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMF) from the environment. Numerous studies have shown biological effects at the cellular level of electromagnetic fields (EMF) at magnetic (ELF) and radio-frequency (RF) frequencies in extremely low intensities. “
“Specifically around the 1 GHz frequency band, exposures have risen by approximally 1018 times natural levels (Bandara and Carpenter, 2018)”.
“Many hypersensitive patients appear to have impaired detoxification systems that become overloaded by excessive oxidative stress (Korkina, 2009; De Luca et al., 2014)”
“urther studies suggest that EMF exposure may be associated with changes in cerebral blood flow which correspond to abnormalities on PET scan of the brain.”

Reliable disease biomarkers characterizing and identifying electrohypersensitivity and multiple chemical sensitivity as two etiopathogenic aspects of a unique pathological disorder
PubMed 2015
Report about EHS or/and MCS.
“Both disorders appear to involve inflammation-related hyper-histaminemia, oxidative stress, autoimmune response, capsulothalamic hypoperfusion and BBB opening, and a deficit in melatonin metabolic availability; suggesting a risk of chronic neurodegenerative disease. “
“As inflammation appears to be a key process resulting from electromagnetic field (EMF) and/or chemical effects on tissues, and histamine release is potentially a major mediator of inflammation, we systematically measured histamine in the blood of patients. Near 40% had a increase in histaminemia (especially when both conditions were present), indicating a chronic inflammatory response can be detected in these patients.
Oxidative stress is part of inflammation and is a key contributor to damage and response.
Nitrotyrosin, a marker of both peroxynitrite (ONOO°-) production and opening of the blood-brain barrier (BBB), was increased in 28% the cases. Protein S100B, another marker of BBB opening was increased in 15%. “
“As most patients reported chronic insomnia and fatigue, we determined the 24 h urine 6-hydroxymelatonin sulfate (6-OHMS)/creatinin ratio and found it was decreased (<0.8) in all investigated cases.”
“Finally, considering the self-reported symptoms of EHS and MCS, we serially measured the brain blood flow (BBF) in the temporal lobes of each case with pulsed cerebral ultrasound computed tomosphygmography. Both disorders were associated with hypoperfusion in the capsulothalamic area, suggesting that the inflammatory process involve the limbic system and the thalamus.”

Electrohypersensitivity (EHS) is a biologically expected reaction to harmful radiation
EHT june 2024
“There is a science-based explanation as to why people become electrohypersensitive: The non-ionising radiation from wireless communication leads to oxidative cell stress, this is undisputed in science. Oxidative cell stress leads to inflammatory processes in the organism.”
…
“The effects of non-ionising radiation on the metabolism in the organism have been proven by over a thousand studies. These effects, triggered by EMF, are felt by people with electrohypersensitivity.”
The arguments used to cast doubt on electrohypersensitivity are not based on medical-biological facts, but on business interests and expert opinions of convenience. It is damaging to the industry’s business if its products are associated with the consequences of illness. It created the “mental disorder” narrative, a marketing story to protect its products. The authorities continue to spread it and ignore the medical causes.”
The EU should assist currently affected groups and limit exposure fields

“The EU should assist currently affected groups and limit exposure fields in light of the
recommendations set out in this opinion, especially with respect to recognising this exposure as a cause of functional disability and environmental illness. “

“Each day the number of EHS sufferers increases: according to new estimates, between 3% and 5% of
the population are electro-sensitive, meaning that some 13 million Europeans may suffer from this
syndrome, which has various names (electro-sensitivity, Wi-Fi syndrome, microwave syndrome,
electromagnetic hypersensitivity, etc.). “
“Exposure to electromagnetic fields has been increasing in recent years, following the expansion of
technologies. In addition to health problems, this can result in limited access to many public or
private facilities, especially in buildings where devices have been installed for transmitting wireless
technology.
These people may sometimes suffer the incomprehension and scepticism of doctors who do not deal
with this syndrome professionally and therefore fail to offer proper diagnosis and treatment. Due to
the serious differences in scientific opinion, the independence of bodies involved in establishing
maximum exposure levels must be reinforced. The EESC is in favour of adopting binding safeguarding
legislation that reduces or mitigates exposure to electromagnetic fields.”
“The EESC emphasises the need to step up the application of the ALARA principle, bearing in mind the
risk of non-thermal biological effects of electromagnetic emissions. In addition, it is important to
facilitate research in this area. The EESC is in favour of ensuring a high level of health protection for
workers by applying the improvements that are available, while this principle should be included in
European legislation.”

The transition towards a more sustainable European future – a strategy for 2050
EESC 2019
“First, this opinion analyses the positive and negative societal and economic impacts of digitalisation.
Second, the implications of planetary limitations and the overall ecological challenge are discussed.
Third, the opinion presents figures related to social inequality, followed by an analysis of the loss of
public support in governments and international institutions. It is critically important that the
strategy encompass precise policy recommendations to help address the three major challenges that
Europe faces and so make “the Europe we want” a reality. “
