I was prescribed Flomax by urology to try to combat urinary retention. Blood pressure crashed to 60/40ish. Cardiology said, "That's enough of that, figure out something else." I did not notice any other effects except the weakness and lightheadedness that goes with a blood pressure drop like that. I was only taking it for a few days, though.

@mjp0512 Flomax (Tamsulosin) is known to lower BP; it’s a common side-effect.

One doctor I heard say that’s the way some of these urinary drugs were discovered - some were initially BP medications and the guys noticed that they also peed better!
