I had an SVT episode (strong, I thought it was a heart attack) back in September 27, 2013.......That day took everything out of me.....I never returned to work.......ptsd took over in the worse way ever...........I have not put in for fatigue as secondary to PTSD yet..... The meds I take do make me very fatigued and i think are also related to my OSA........I am SC for PTSD 70%....This C & P was ordered because of TDIU submitted.....it was the second C & P ordered (first mental then general medicine) (found out it was for SVT on that day).... .....I am not service connected to SVT Yet...... Thanks for the decision link...... Thanks Berta and Chuck

Hello everyone, first time posting here but not my first time on this site......I have used all that I have learned here and applied it with much success.....The knowledge here is just the best....Thank you all for your insight and guidance......I had an general medical c & p exam in November of this year. I did not find out what it was until I got there and it was for an SVT. The following is what I need your expert insight on: Please see below: What does the orange area mean, and what impact will it have towards my current IU claim? Date of interview-based METs test: 11/7/14 Symptoms during activity: The METs level checked below reflects the lowest activity level at which the Veteran reports any of the following symptoms (check all symptoms that the Veteran reports at the indicated METs level of activity): [X] Fatigue Results: METs level on most recent interview-based METs test: [X] (>7-10 METs) This METs level has been found to be consistent with activities such as climbing stairs quickly, moderate bicycling, sawing wood, jogging (6 mph) c. If the Veteran has had both an exercise stress test and an interview-based METs test, indicate which results most accurately reflect the Veteran's current cardiac functional level: [ ] Exercise stress test [X] Interview-based METs test [ ] N/A d. Is the METs level limitation due solely to the heart condition(s)? [ ] Yes [X] No If no, estimate the percentage of the METs level limitation that is due solely to the heart condition(s): [X] 0% [ ] 10% [ ] 20% [ ] 30% [ ] 40% [ ] 50% [ ] 60% [ ] 70% [ ] 80% [ ] 90% e. In addition to the heart condition(s), does the Veteran have other non-cardiac medical conditions (such as musculoskeletal or pulmonary conditions) limiting the METs level? [X] Yes [ ] No Other medical condition #1: lack of energy due to PTSD Effect on METs level: 100% 15. Functional impact --------------------- Does the Veteran's heart condition(s) impact his or her ability to work? [X] Yes [ ] No 16. Remarks, if any ------------------- Although veteran has a normal EKG currently, a diagnosis of SVT is given based on history.Claimant is waiting to see a cardiologist for further evaluation. Thanks
