Yes. Eventually, your body can no longer handle the strain. Even if heart failur doesn't get you, there's about a dozen ways that his form of gigantism will kill you.
Andre kept growing, which is part of the reason he looks different in pictures form different timeframes. Also, there's the issue of camera perspective (and obviously, his accentuated features).
Also, the bigger you are, the more of a difference a few inches can make. It's really weird how that works, but it's because your body is larger proportionately. It's why they're able to sell people like Andre and Taker as being larger than they are.
