Hey: I'm new to this forum so, Hey to all of you and I could use a little help. I recently received a determination from the VA giving me 10% for ringing in my ears, and also got 0% for hearing loss. A couple of years ago I tried to get disability for my heart - I had a stent put in in 2006 - but was turned down even though I was hospitalized in Germany for test after xray showed and enlarged heart. I sent and reviewed my service record and aa number of things popped put at me. When i enlisted (USN) in April 1970, I had to have my blood opressure taken by an outside doctor because it came up high. the four readings I have on the Report of Medical Examination form 88 shows the following readings: 162/76, 166/70, 160/76, 164/80. I went to a doctor and he took the BP over a few days and I got in (crazy as it sounds, I wanted to go in!) so then, I'm in Germany, and they call me on this enlarged heart, do all kinds of tests, then says it's nothing, no heart disease found. The I'm getting out after four years, I'm stationed in Scotland, and my BP readings are as follows: 134/86, 126/86, 130/80, and then down below, in what looks like felt tip marker, net to a signature (not mine) is 136/76 - an average? or just the number that needed to be there to get me out? Any chance I might be able to get a SC for high blood pressure?
Thanks
