Physician Assistant and prior C&P examiner Leah Bucholz discusses What to Expect in a TMJ Veterans Disability C&P Exam.
Leah discusses common conditions linked to PTSD in veterans. She outlines five key secondary conditions: headaches (including migraines and tension headaches), sexual dysfunction disorders (often related to PTSD treatments like SSRIs), gastrointestinal disorders (like IBS and GERD, connected to stress), sleep apnea (controversially linked to PTSD, with emphasis on showing causation), and various conditions stemming from PTSD-related weight gain, such as plantar fasciitis, coronary artery disease, hypertension, diabetes, and sleep apnea. Leah highlights the importance of understanding these connections for veterans seeking disability claims and provides references to studies and resources for further information.
