Is your cardiac issues documented in your service medical records (SMRs)? If so, you need to start there....get that treated first...are you on meds for this?

I ask because I just had to have a pacemaker put in for sick sinus syndrome.

Do you have a copy of your complete SMRs? I hope so. If not, get them ASAP.

As for the hives.....were they related to your allergies? Did the docs ever come up with a reason for the hives? Hives usually just don't come out of nowhere. If there is a chronic condition causing the hives, then you might be able to claim the underlying condition....but if they are caused by a reaction to a med, or a soap, or something like that....then no.

But get those records!!!

Do you work? Do you have medical insurance? You need to see a "real" cardiologist. The VA docs told me I only had heartburn!....for over 3 years (and I had previous heart procedures done). Well, I starting going into heart failure and had to have emergency surgery for the pacemaker.

Have your hives ever come back?

Hives are an allergic reaction to something. You would need to prove that your service aggravated your allergic condition. jmo
