Can you tell me if there's a chance I'll grow taller after turning 16? I stopped playing sports and doing physical activities for the past couple of years. I'm really curious and a bit worried about it.

After 16, significant height increase is unlikely, as the growth plates in your bones typically fuse by age 14-16 in girls and 16-18 in boys; however, some studies suggest that certain exercises, like hanging, swimming, or yoga, may help stretch and align your spine, potentially leading to a small, temporary increase in height (up to 1-2 inches), but this is not a guaranteed or permanent increase.

I've been experiencing sudden sweating and a sort of flurry feeling, and I've had a bunch of tests done with nothing major coming up except for a B12 and vitamin D deficiency, as well as high cholesterol. Is there something specific I should be worried about or maybe something else I should check out? I'm just not sure what's causing these symptoms.
