for medical expenses they have to have been prescribed by the doctor, in writing
and you have to determine if this addition increased the value of your residence
I’m afraid none of them would. You also need to consider that you can only deduct medical expenses that amount to over 7.5% of your adjusted gross income.
You may deduct only the amount by which your total medical care expenses for the year exceed 7.5% of your adjusted gross income. You do this calculation on Form 1040 Schedule A in computing the amount deductible.
The Hepa site says it is deductible only if your doctor writes a prescription for it.

You’d have a hard time claiming those as "medical" expenses. See IRS Publication 502.
