Hello there. I can understand your concern. Firstly your age is 27, you have passed your height growth phase long ago. Secondly, what thyroid medicines are you taking? Treatment for hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism? Also, nothing apart from surgery will increase your height. Best regards. Dr. Anil Kumar Jain. Bangalore.
