PTSD and vasovagal syncope
Posted: 11-14-2009, 07:02 PM

In 2008 some jerk shot me in the chest while I was wearing a bulletproof vest. I was left with a chest contusion and possible PTSD. I did pass out for a short time but I'm almost sure it was due to vasovagal syncope as the ER doctors told me. Is something like this disqualifying. I have not been diagnosed with PTSD but during a Psych eval i'm afraid I would be.

PTSD would be dysqualifying. Not too worried about the vasovagal syncope after gunshot wound.
