Question
I have quit the habit of drug. Now how or what test should I do for checking what harm and how much have been done to my lungs/liver.
Thanks

Answer
I must congratulate you for coming off drugs. That is terrific. As to any physical damage this is a purely medical matter,. I would suggest that you go to a doctor and ask for a check up and tell him that you have been using drugs.
Most drug addicts have hypoglycemic as a condition that started the addiction to drugs.

I suspect that you could still have this. Fortunately this can be treated without drugs by going on a hypoglycemic diet.

Please complete the NBI at our web site. You'll find it in ARTICLES.

If you prove positive go on the hypoglycemic diet.
If negative you should do a course of PSYCHOTHERAPY which is also at the web site.

Please read:

“What is Hypoglycemia?”

“The Connection between Depression. Addiction and Hypoglycemia” or

“The Serotonin Connection”

These articles show why people may become drug addicted.

Good Luck.
