An alternative to curing Lung Damage yourself is to pay a doctor to heal it for you. It costs 1000 credits to pay a doctor to cure you, but it will also remove any other afflictions you may be suffering from, not just Lung Damage. Then again, the Injector item can cure quite a few afflictions too. For the full list of afflictions and their cures, check out ourStarfield status effectsguide.
