General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi, flowmax would pass out the kidney stones in ease, depending on the size of the stones.As, you are worried of taking pain pill and your cardio drugs. i would suggest you to start having cranberry juice or cranberry capsules, which would flush out the stones.
DIET: more liquid and cut down on fat.
PHYSICAL ACTIVITY : Atleast 30 mins of brisk walking.
The stones would pass out with this lifestyle and diet modifications along with med`s over time.
