Answer 1

Yes, you can shrink. It usually happens when you're an elder, but I bet you can do it at any age.

Answer 2

woman shrink...  

Answer 3

i think you may have gotten hti with a shrink ray..

Answer 4

only when your older... i think o_O

Answer 5

yes you can.you can get shorter

Answer 6

maybe you measured wrong. the first time or the second time. (: just double check.

Answer 7

Could you have been measured with shoes on one time and the next with them off?? Or a different height heeled shoes? Were you standing up straight the first time or have a poofy hair do???

Answer 8

Are you a woman?

I know when woman are older, they will get smaller in bone size.

But maybe something was wrong on either of these two measurements.  Where your feet as straight, you got the same shoes on?

Answer 9

Were you wearing your shoes the first time you measures yourself?

Answer 10

Well when you lay down for a long time your spine stretches a bit so you're taller than normal but as you stand it shrink back to normal and you're shorter again. Or you could've measured wrong.

Answer 11

Yep lol. It's possible.

Answer 12

Not unless u are like 50 or older. You can get osteoporosis, or just with old age your spinal bones "wear down" and make your spine "shrink"...

But if you are Young??? I would maybe get check for scoliosis (curvature of the spine) or Kyphosis (hump back- common in older people)...

other than that... you PROBABLY measure wrong... sorry!

Keep your head up and shoulders back! :)

Answer 13

Not that I know of, unless you are old lol.  Maybe you were measured wrong one of the times?

Answer 14

Answer 16

maybe u measured wrong

Answer 17

Were you measured at different times during the day?  I've heard that there can be quite a difference between measurements done in the morning and those in the evening.   Also, your posture and type of shoes can also contribute to this change.
