Unlikely to happen: At nineteen your growth centers have likely closed and you are unlikely to grow taller.If you want to know for sure an x-ray of your wrist/hand can be analysed for bone maturity & see if more growth is possible.Good nutrition, rest and exercise allow a person to reach their tallest height while the opposite will stunt growth.No medication will increase height after growth centers close
