Denied
The Board denied service connection for heart palpitation/heart condition and atypical chest pain as the evidence did not support a finding of a current disability related to military service.
The deciding factor: The VA examiners found no current diagnosis for the claimed conditions, and the Veteran's symptoms were attributed to her service-connected GERD and mental health conditions without a cardiac etiology.
