HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, you are just 17 and you still have some chance to increase the height, now just because of exercise but this is physiological phenomenon, height is genetically decided and this can be increased with anything either medicine or exercise, hope this information helps, take care, have a nice day.
