Neurocirculatory asthenia is the syndrome characterized by palpitations, dyspnea, a sense of fatigue, fear of effort, and discomfort brought on by exercise or even slight effort.

The appellant's March 1946 separation examination was negative for any nervousness or cardiovascular disorders, and he was not diagnosed as having circulatory asthenia until 1978, thirty two years after his discharge from service.
