Hi guy,
Over the years I've extensively abused myself by consuming 30~40 cigarettes a day, Neat whiskies, for some time i was hooked to opium....

Right now I have stopped most of those,,, just consume unhealthy amount of energy drinks and cigarettes on a daily basis to feed dose.to my body to keep going with daily routines....
On a good part, i make it a point to walk atleast 10k steps daily and have been doing so for more than a year now.
It has dawned upon me that it's time i should keep my health in check after years of abuse.

So i was planning to go for a full body and health checkup, Now i need some suggestions on how to save in that area...
One friend told me that full body checkup will be expensive and it's better to take health insurance for which it's a mandate to have gone health checkup from the insurers tie ups.....

Report reliability is a concern these days as pointed by @kartikxxx so i am planning to do two comprehensive checks by different hospital/institutions.

Those who do please give and estimate on what to do, what not to do (in terms of check up) so i don't end up getting ripped off.

You don't need to get checked twice. Get it checked through apps like Mfine, pharmeasy etc. if you are in a city. It would cost less than ₹2000. Besides those lab tests are still not going to reveal some of your conditions like liver abuse (LFT results can still be normal). You would need a liver biopsy to reveal serious diseases in advance which can cost easily ₹10k. It's a foolish thought to depend on insurance pre policy checks. Do not follow layman's suggestions in personal finance or medicine. They only do basic checks like ECG, BMI, BP, diabetes, routine blood tests etc. If you opt for home check some labs would sometimes just do blood tests and a fake normal ECG report will be provided to insurer. You better contact a doctor online (any internal medicine or liver or cardiologist) and take suggestions on what tests are better for your profile. Use 1mg or mfine or practo or lybrate etc. apps.

Dear @xxxyyyzzz are you sure you have successfully de-addicted yourself? have u joined any such rehab program?

As the saying goes once an addict always an addict

Our bodies are made in such a way that there is always some scope of rejuvenation if the damage has not crossed that threshold level

As per cigaratte smoking goes, ateast upper and lower thorax scans & ECG will be costly

If u want u can have an MRI scan of your brain too, it aybe recommended by experts

Blood tests will be cheap (Damages for kidneys, liver, ulcers, cancer preventive tests)
You should keep in mind to screening tests of cancer
bro whom you are suggesting, the guy wants to test things so that he can get the idea how much more of drugs can be done.

Don't go judgemental brother! After all It is a community which can be used for suggestions, discussions and opinions (opinions on the query not on OP! ).

Full body checkup is a marketing gimmick. There's nothing like that in real.. Better not to fall for these marketing tactics.. 

If any symptoms -> do targeted tests recommended by a good physician(health checkup recommended) . 

If no symptoms -> do screening tests for most common complications. That would suffice along with regular follow-ups. 

Lab should be NABL accredited with regular internal QC checks.

No, as i am nearing 26 i am planning to do full checkup (almost everything inside out) unless few organs rise the cost exponentially.

Agenda is to analyse if it's too late or not
Don't miss major organs even if they rise the cost a bit. If you take Plus membership on Pharmeasy, you can use the code PLUS40 and get 40% back on lab tests. Combine this with the already discounted rates on tests and you will cover everything in a cost effective way.

Smokers will get lungs (mostly) / other cancers ... its 100% 


Doesn't matter one stick per day or 20 , damage is damage .


Age is no limit , some gets early as of 30-45 , some gets latter i.e 65-75 .

Quitting / rehab / exercise etc doesn't matter ... damage due to smoking is irreversible.

I personally use 1mg Thyrocare labs. The reports are accurate and on time. I have verified the reports everytime by always getting the same tests done at a nearby lab on the same day.

: Age? Weight? I used pharmeasy labs and found them almost accurate (only some minor differences). But as you have consumed that much cigarettes, you should also consider scanning for atleast lungs (xray at first, not ct/mri). BP monitoring should also be included (2 recordings at 48hrs gap). Then according to the results, proceed further.

First of all, kudos to you for stopping all. Be determined & continue the same. Wishing you the best.
Consult a physician. He would mostly advise you to get done some basic tests like CBC, LFT & Chest X-ray.
Go for CT/MRI only if your doctor suggests, I am sure he won't suggest at this point of time.
Remember, 1 CT is equal to 100 X-rays in terms of radiation exposure. @xxxyyyzzz

The most important thing is to realise that so much of smoking, alcohol and other things will only harm you more & more. You have to quit all that if you really care for yourself & want good quality life. 
Hope you actually quit that & not just asking to know how much more you can abuse, as mentioned in a comment.

Anyways, to answer your question, you should first consult a physician for thorough evaluation and then he/she will suggest the required investigations.

As for lab, the hospital labs are costlier but they are generally regularly calibrated and more accurate than outside labs, though that's not a rule.
Max labs is a division of Max hospitals....they are quite accurate & prices are also reasonable. Package with most blood & urine tests costs around 4K and I think they also have BOGO schemes running many times - you may check their site.
But it's your choice whichever lab you want to get tested.
The insurance routine package won't be a good enough thing and there's no need to compare with another lab unless the doctor finds discrepancy in any value.

In any case you should take health insurance at the earliest, before you get any illness.

Test recommendations
CBC with ESR & peripheral blood.
LFT, KFT, Lipid profile, TSH, Free T4, free T3
Fasting sugar, HbA1C
Vit B12, Vit D, Serum iron, Serum ferritin
Urine routine, Stool routine
USG whole abdomen
PFT
Chest X ray if suggested by the physician.

Regular consultation with a dentist is also very important, at least once every 6 months.

Tobacco use causes many types of cancer, including cancer of the lung, larynx (voice box), mouth, esophagus, throat, bladder, kidney, liver, stomach, pancreas, colon and rectum, and cervix, as well as acute myeloid leukemia. People who use smokeless tobacco (snuff or chewing tobacco) have increased risks of cancers of the mouth, esophagus, and pancreas.

Apart from cancers, Smoking, tobacco, alcohol increase risk for many other diseases also.

If you still find all those habits preferable over high risk of these cancers & diseases, keep getting tested & consults with physician & dentist, and whatever may be required based on your symptoms & overall condition.

CANCER SCREENING

Checking for cancer (or for abnormal cells that may become cancer) in people who have no symptoms is called screening.

Screening tests can help find cancer at an early stage, before symptoms appear.
