Meds and Fistulas.

[aam]

New to the forum but not new to Crohn's.
About 45 years a go, I was diagnosed with Crohn's.
Had surgery removed about 5' of the small intestine, 1' of the large.

I have two perianal fistulas. One started about six years a go the other
about two.

I am taking meds for blood pressure.

Benazepril 20mg
Amlodipine 10mg both once a day.

Here is question.

I stopped taking the medications, and the fistulas are GONE.
Start the meds, I can feel coming back.

Has anybody run in to this?

Regards,
aam.

Can you ask your doctor if there is other medicine they can put you on for the blood pressure?

The reason that I posted was for other members with the same situation, is to maybe try see if that works. Those who have them know the pain.

For about a week, could not seat, walk, etc.
The funny think is that it all started, when I was put on the blood pressure meds.

Thanks for replying, on my next appointment I will...

Regards,
aam.
