General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi Sameer,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
I am sorry to say that for your age at 22 years, no way you can increase your height.
This is because, growth of long bones is complete by 18 years of age (+/- 2 years). Once the growing ends of the bones and epiphysis gets fused, then the growth of bones is complete.
Hence, please be satisfied with what height you have achieved. It would be unnecessary waste of time and energy if you try by any means or medications to increase your height.
Hope the information provided would be useful.
All the best.
