Different instrument: Did you get measured at the same place with the same instrument? Were you wearing different shoes? Shrinking is unlikely, and it's very difficult to get an accurate height at times. Repeat the measurement in a few months, and try to do it the exact same way. If you are still getting smaller, do get checked and find out why.
