What Causes Muscle Cramps While On Amlodipine And Losartan?

I take amlodipine and losartan along with hydroclorothiazide for hypertension. 2 years ago I had a stroke that left my right side numb. In the past six months, I have had increasing cramps, muscle spasms and pain in the muscles of my right shoulder, upper arm, biceps and lower arm. Elbow feels like liquid fire when I move it. My VA doctor prescribed nortriptylene... not helping. Any suggestions?

It is not related to amlodipine or losartan. If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a physician and get evaluated.
