Yes, electrically heated floors give off additional EMFs.

- Though spring is soon here,
if you go totally without heat in a room during cold months, moisture and mold can result. Heat helps keep things dry.
Also with in-the-floor heating, some kinds contain water in the pipe/tubing under the floor (some kinds do not). If so, be sure to not let freeze.
If you inhabit a room, it's important to keep yourself warm enough. Shivering does no good.
Some Tai Chi exercises can help your body stay balanced. -

Ip, I grew up in a house with radiant heat flooring throughout the house. It is a very ancient system that was developed by the romans. My house had hot water running through coils underneath a concrete floor with tiles. It is the perfect environment for anyone with allergies and provides the right balance of dryness to moisture. With that said, in college I had an apartment with heat in the ceiling, which seems wasteful as hot air naturally rises-- I am not sure what system made the heat, but it wasn't hot water. With radiant heat floors, there is a boiler involved that heats the water.
