You should seek opinion form urologist regarding kidney stones.
Your problem may be due to cardiac,respiratory,gastrointestinal,genitourinary or musculoskeletal causes.It should be ascertained by clinical examination and investigation reports.
As your systolic level of B.P is increased ,Hypertension should be confirmed by confirming it at multiple times and if it is increased ,medicine should be prescribed.
