Hi!
Actually many would envy your height. It is best not to interfere with normal growth process. You are already 18 years old, so your growth plates would be all more or less fused. You are unlikely to grow much taller than what you are. At most you may gain an inch, but it is more likely that you will gain a centimeter or more. Do discuss this with your doctor. Take care!
