Detailed Answer:
Dear Sir,
Thank you for posting your query on HCM.
Well looking into your problem I would like to tell you that you are not going to experience any decrease in height if a person heavier or taller then you steps on your feet . Height is not affected by injury to feet .
In your age one possibility is when you experience osteoporotic fracture of spine which can decrease the height due to vertebral collapse .
You be rest assured nothing will happen .
Take care.
