You feel Taller?: Not sure I grasp that? You FEEL taller. I think either you got taller or you didn't. You certainly SHOULDN'T be getting taller at age 39 so if you really are then, that could be a problem. Otherwise, the sensation of being taller doesn't fit with your other symptoms. As far as the rest of it is concerned herniated disks could cause other symptoms & maybe dizziness if you explain that more.

Question not clear ?: Disc disease can cause tingling in the arms and legs. It is not as often a cause of dizziness at such a young age and thus this should be evaulated further by a Neurologist. Consideration for injections or a neuropathic pain med. The comment about getting taller is not clear although some have tried manipulation and traction to minimize muscle tightness and spasm.
