Your average hight should be almost 5.75 inches. But you’re almost 5.8 which is not bad it’ll continue till your 20s. Still you’re concerned about it can consult an endocrinologist he’ll check your hormonal assay.
have a balanced diet and do regular exercise and visit an senior endocrinologist
Height is mostly genetical and as you are 5 ft 8' that means you are near to your final height.
If you are doing stretching, you can also do jumping jacks and running that might help. But keep it clear in your mind they will just cause a maximum of 1' increase as height is mostly genetical.
You dont have to worry about it its completely normal.
