You may have memory corruption. Back up the phone to iTunes and iCloud (for extra security). Check Encrypt Backup for the iTunes backup, and DON'T FORGET THE BACKUP PASSCODE so the backup will include health data and passwords.
Then restore iOS using iTunes.

Something may be corrupt on your phone causing all of that “other” data. The usual first troubleshooting steps would be to backup your phone, restore to factory settings by erasing it in the settings or by using iTunes and then restore the backup.
Choose the method that you use to backup.
