Hi,
Amlong A is a medicine that is used as an antihypertensive (to lower the blood pressure). It usually does not any stiffness in the left arm. I feel first of all we should evaluate for some other reasons for stiffness. I hope there is no associated chest pain or reduce the power of the left arm. The stiffness may be part of frozen shoulder or compression of some nerve or inflammation of tendon. Sometimes it can be associated with some trauma.
I think we need to do a detailed evaluation to decide the cause for the same. You can start some stretching exercises and take multivitamins. If symptoms persist then you need to do some investigations like vitamin B12 level, X-ray shoulder, ECG, nerve conduction studies.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
