I was never a va employee, Hbp was diagnosed by my private Doctor 1995 Docket No. 19-28 747 Service connection for hypertension Under 38 C.F.R. § 4.104, Diagnostic Code 7101, hypertension means diastolic blood pressure predominantly 90mm. or greater, or systolic pressure predominantly greater. The Veteran had two blood pressure readings in service which meet these criteria. In October 1983, blood pressure was140/90. In December 1991, blood pressure was 128/91. However, in both cases, the Veteran was being treated for other health concerns, and hypertension was not diagnosed in either instance. However, no VA examiner has addressed these findings in determining the etiology of the Veteran's hypertension. A supplemental opinion should be obtained. Service connection for headaches The Veteran is competent to report experiencing headaches. He contends that these headaches may constitute an "undiagnosed illness" associated with service in Southwest Asia. A May 2016 VA examination diagnosed headaches of unknown etiology. A December 2016 disability benefits questionnaire (DBQ) submitted by a private physician suggested that headaches were associated with hypertension. The rating criteria for the Veteran's service -connected fibromyalgia also contemplate the presence of headaches. An additional examination is necessary to clarify the etiology of the Veteran's headaches. Service connection for a gastrointestinal disability, psoriasis, diabetes mellitus, hand tremors, pes planes, left ear hearing loss, and tinnitus Higher rating for right ear hearing loss TDIU The remaining issues on appeal must be remanded because the Veteran identified potentially relevant outstanding private treatment records as part of his July 2020 TDIU application. A remand is required to allow VA to request these records. As discussed above, the Veteran has claimed service connection for a gastrointestinal disability, but erosive gastritis show in treatment records is part of the rating criteria for cirrhosis of the liver and should not be considered a separate disability. The claim is being remanded for consideration of any additional gastrointestinal disability that may be present in the private records sought on remand.
