The Board remands the claims for a compensable evaluation of vasovagal syncope and sinus tachycardia due to inadequate VA medical examinations.
The deciding factor: The August 2023 and October 2023 VA medical opinions are considered inadequate as they failed to fully consider all of the Veteran's statements and medical records, including reports of mild seizures every two to three days lasting approximately 30 seconds to three minutes, and a diagnosis of epilepsy during an emergency department visit.
