I'm in my late 20s and I keep growing, why?


Question:
From about age 16-25 I was always 5'3" according to the measurements taken at my annual physical. Last year I measured 5'4" and now I measured 5'4.5". My diet and activity level has stayed about the same, although I used to do quite a bit more yoga.

Also, my weight has dropped about 20 pounds over the last two years too, with little or no lifestyle change, and my BMI is now 17.5. All hormone and thyroid tests are normal.

Any idea why I'm suddenly growing again?

Answers:
some people just spurt a little later than others. im not completley dont growing yet.. my boobs are proof..lol.
You might have your blood checked for high levels of growth hormone; it is not a standard test. You can also get this from meat and dary products.
On the rare cases where someone does continue to grow into their late 20 or older, they are usually EXTREMELY tall. Like "Guinness World Records" tall. Not 5"4.5"

You had testing, so you have seen the doctor. You really need to to to him/her about it.
