A 51-year-old female asked:
is it possible for adults in their late 30s to grow 2-3 inches taller after years of no change in height? i know daily exercise can improve posture but can it add inches of height at age 38?

Can be other causes: Dizziness with exercise doesn't just happen with inadequate hydration. If a person is well hydrated, and still gets dizzy, her doctor can evaluate.
