Question
docexceler
While I was in the Navy I recieved a CAT scan for waking headaches. I have no PTSD didn't see combat. Several years after being out a Doctor sent me for a sleep study and I have sleep apnea. I got a cpap so I read about having waking headaches as a major symptom of sleep apnea. I have 30% for migraines already and still get waking headaches so i applied for the rating. I was denied as not a record of sleeping issues while in service. My neurologist says it is possible to overlook sleep apnea as the symptoms overlap migraines.
I was also denied neck pain and issues even though xrays show deformity. Neck pain is a major symptom of migraines and some Doctors believe it can cause migraines.
Any advice to get these connected to my exisiting service conection.
Thanks

Long list of possible causes of SA. Very difficult Secondary SC award. With OSA as opposed to Central SA, weight and neck size (171/2 for men) are seen as primary causes. Check out 2014 BVA Decisions
