Is it possible to shrink in height at a younger age?

Posted , 4 users are following.

When I was turning 17 I was measured at 6ft tall (183cm), I grew to just under 6'2 since and I'm now 6 months from my 19th birthday and after being measured a moment ago in the morning it read 5'11. During my "tall" period I was in better shape, I'm not exactly fat right now but I'm certainly overweight. My bed also gave out right after I got it the other month, the lower and upper sections sink while the middle where my lower spine rests is still up. It's the lack of exercise and crooked bed, right? It has to be!
