If 40 yo has excess growth hormone from overproduction of gh-releasing hormone could growing taller be only symptom they see or would there be others?

Other symptoms: And adult with excess growth hormone will experience enlargement of the jaw and hands and feet but since the growth plates of the large bones are usually sealed,there is minimal height growth.
