Are There Any Side Effects Of Taking Potassium Losartan And Amlodopine For Hypertension?

Hi I am taking potassium losartan and recently amlodopine for hypertension. I have only been on the latter drug a month but in that time I feel very tired with muscular aches and pains and lower back pain. Could this additional drug be causing these symptoms?
