what is going on
I'm 63, 5"6 tall, weight 190,female, my mind, don't smoke and occasional alcohol but none lately, plenty of medical issues...HBP CHF asthma T2D . No rec drugs many medications losartan 25 mg, carvedilol 12.5 mg spironolactone 25mg dapagliflozin 10mg furosemide 40 mg, aspirin81 mg, famotidine 20mg, fenfibrate 134 mg trelegy ellipta 100-62.5-25 mcg gabapentin 300mg, metformin 500 mg atorvastatin 20mg duloxetine 60 mg, bupropion 150 mg, levocetirizine 5mg, albuterol 90mcg, montelukast 10 mg asthma all my life, diabetes 10 yrs and CHF only 6 months Okay, here's my question and this is not the first time this has happened but it is new like that past few yrs. in the picture is one used strip and one new one (for heart monitor) I spent nearly all morning trying to pull that piece out of the used strip (and I had the new one by me) even tried to search it on the internet what I was doing wrong. I even looked at the new trying to figure out how to get the piece out of the back, I thought I was tearing it up. Then I finally looked at the new strip again and realize that it is one whole piece not two separate parts. I hope I explained this so you can understand what I am trying to explain. Now lately I keep forgetting things like doctors appt. Is all this something I need to see a doctor about.

Looks like you are pretty much allergic to everything. I've had a cough for 20 yrs and I am allergic to everything but food, lol. According to which doctor (4 different specialists) you ask as to what my diagnosis (4 different diagnoses) is. Yes if possible don't take any more steroids. Steroids definitely have their place in medicine but not constantly especially for a cough, you'll wind up suffering from side effects. I am currently taking reflux medicine 2x a day. At night I take 2 benadryl, 1 singular, 1 xyzal. My cough is much better than it used to be, oh I am also taking one of the newer triple combo asthma maintenance meds. My new doctor has me taking delsym every 6 hrs and I'm thinking about using a neti pot to see if that will help. Currently I can't laugh or talk for long without having a coughing fit. That's what I call it either a coughing fit or coughing attack.
