I'm 17 years old and my height is 5'6". I've heard about growth hormones like HGH, and I'm curiouswhat kind would be appropriate for someone like me? How does it work, and would it really help me get taller? I'm a bit worried about not growing any more at my age. Any advice on this would be great.

As a 17-year-old, your growth plates are still open, and you may naturally grow taller; to support growth, focus on a balanced diet rich in protein, calcium, and vitamins D and K, regular exercise like stretching and strength training, and adequate sleep; regarding HGH, it's essential to consult an endocrinologist , as HGH supplements are not recommended for non-medical use, and prescription HGH therapy is only approved for growth hormone deficiency or specific medical conditions.

I've just turned 19, and I'm a girl who weighs only around 36-40 kgs. It feels like no matter how much I eat or how properly I do it, my weight just doesn't seem to go up. It's getting really frustrating because I'm looking really slim and can't figure out why. Could there be something else going on that I should be worried about?

What happens if I miss my thyroid medication one day?

Levothyroxine has longer half-life, so a person would not have much effects if you miss one dose. Take the missed dose as soon as you remember it. However, if it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and continue your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one.
