Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Our long bones are having growth plates at their growing ends.. These plates are the reasons why we grow height.
After the age of 18-20 years, these growth plates fuse with parent bone and so other height will no longer increase.
Since you are 18 years old, you might increase your height for next 1-2 years.
You are doing correct things for increasing height.
Additionally, start protein powder with milk twice daily instead of plain milk.
Also do stretching exercises like swimming, cycling etc.
Don't worry, you will gain height upto 20 years.. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
