Question: hi my height is 6 ft 2 inches age is 31 and weight is 90 I am getting taller day by day . please give me any medicine so that my height won't increase more all other symptoms are normal
Brief Answer:
Check growth hormone;
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
First you should check growth hormone level to confirm / rule out an over-secretion as it is the most common cause of height gain.
The treatment than consists in surgical removal of the tumor that secretes growth hormone.
So I would suggest to check GH and IGF1.
Please attach the result for further suggestions.
