Hello, A couple years ago , 3/2020, I had heart surgery. Had a 99% block in LDA. Thank God I have three artery's vice two, at least my cardiologist was saying it was a good thing.
Anyways, I retired in 2012, Oct. I was service connected for blood pressure and of course have been on meds for years, years before even getting out. Cholesterol was high, and they put me on statin, then another med for calcium control.
Is the Heart surgery something I should notify my VSO about. Blood pressure hasnt changed any, cholesterol is down due to diet and meds..

How about Vioxx? That stuff caused heart attacks and they go sued over it. I think Motrin is potentially really bad stuff. It will kill your gut if you take it long term. If you do your research yo

Steve That's good but don't let that stop you from making a claim. I got a zero rating for my heart. I appealed it and got 60%. I am not sure exactly why but whose complaining. When you make a
