Unfortunately there is little chance that your height can increase once your are past twenty. It is because growing end of the bone get fused and then bone can no longer grow any more.
Height depends on many factors like hormone, genetic factors, and nutrition and physical activity. I would recommend you to meet a endocrinologist and discuss these issues with him. May be if there is some cause which can be changed or any medicine can help you. Do not delay this is only time when some ting can be done. Some time there are some genital disorders which can cause such problems. It can cause further complication also like acne, infertility or obesity. So get these investigations done as soon as possible.

Hello,Thanks for your query.After going through your query I came to know that you want to increase your height .I think by medicines and exercises it is not possible to increase your height . Only possible way to increase your height is bone lengthening operations . These are orthopedics operations .By these operations your height can increase up to nearly10 inches. You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it.I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care.
