Denied
The Board denied service connection for fainting, loss of consciousness and heart palpitations as they are not related to the Veteran's active service or any service-connected disabilities.
The deciding factor: The evidence does not support a finding that the claimed conditions began during service or are otherwise related to an in-service injury, event, or disease, including exposure to toxins in Kuwait.
