Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you you have height 5 feet and you feel embarrassed due to this and you want to increase it. I would like to tell you that well height of a person increases by age by 21 years because there is non fusion of epiphyseal plates and there is chances of growth, once fusion occurs rare growth chances are there. If you are below 21 years then do proper set of exercises along with healthy diet and do muscle stretching. If you are above 21 years age use shoe lifts and maintain good posture as no medicines can incraese growth then.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
