Explanation : If it's a real change in hight , you need to go to the doctor for blood work and other tests, because it could be hormonal excess

No place to grow: After one's growth plates completely close, usually during the high school or early college years, there is no natural way to grow an inch in true height, regardless of how much or how little growth hormone a person has.
