A few questions:

Can you qualify what you consider to be a 'symptom' vs a 'condition'?

Is high cholesterol a symptom of something, or a condition itself? What about high blood sugar?

Would you say that acid reflux is a symptom or a condition?

Is a person that takes Prilosec daily to treat bad reflux treating the symptoms and not the underlying condition?

What about people using asthma inhalers, or epipens: symptom or condition?

Are people allowed to use the medicines if their underlying conditions are not being treated?
