Atlanta Hypertension Lawyer

Helping Veterans With Hypertension Throughout Georgia & Nationwide

Of all the many illnesses caused by Agent Orange, hypertension (also known as high blood pressure) is one that may soon become a presumptive condition. Studies have shown to determine the relationship between exposure to Agent Orange and hypertension.

While these studies support a connection, the Secretary has yet to find that hypertension is presumptively linked to Agent Orange exposure.

This does not mean that such a case will not be successful, however, additional supporting medical evidence is still currently needed to provide a link.
