View allI've noticed my neck has been getting bigger over the past two weeks. It's not affecting my breathing or swallowing, but it is noticeable, and my family can see it too. I'm worried it might be something like a thyroid issue or a goiter since thats what my quick internet search suggested. Is there anything specific I should do, or is it okay if I send a picture for a closer look?

I'm really concerned about my height as I feel it's not enough. I'm 22 now, and I'm wondering if there's anything I can do to increase it at this age. Could you share some advice or recommend any methods that might help?
While height is mostly determined by genetics and typically stops increasing after the age of 22, you can still focus on improving posture, strengthening your muscles, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Stretching exercises like yoga or pilates may help you appear taller and more confident.
