I have been diagnosed with asthma. I’ve been out of the military for 30 years. While serving on active duty I had persistent colds all the time and was told by my medical officer to just take over the counter meds because there was not much they could do. I was even told to use an otc inhaler when I complained of shortness of breath. So I don’t think anything was ever documented in my health records so now I’m having trouble proving service connection because I did what they told me. So my question is how do I prove something that I treated over the counter for years while on active duty?
