About one in four veterans of the Persian Gulf War and Operation Desert Shield/Desert Storm developed chronic health problems. Common symptoms include:
• Fatigue
• Headaches
• Joint pain
• Indigestion
• Insomnia
• Dizziness
• Shortness of breath
• Memory problems
• Psychological problems
Although generally known as Gulf War Syndrome, the symptoms vary so widely the Veterans Affairs Department does not consider them to be a true syndrome. Instead, it defines the ailments as "medically unexplained chronic multi-symptom illnesses."
The VA presumes that certain chronic, unexplained symptoms existing for six months or more are related to Gulf War service, regardless of their cause.
