Not measured since was teen so don't know exact adult ht. but feels like i'm standing 2+ in. taller now. hear that can't happen. can anything cause it?

Not really: When your growth centers close (late teens) you do not grow taller. You can improve your posture and or become more confident in your appearance. You can also wear platform shoes.
