So the Tamsulosin (Flomax) works like a charm, unfortunately it's just as he had thought, he has the most common side effects, including a stuffy nose so bad that he's unable to sleep as well as he used to, and mouth-breathes the entire night.
He's now looking for a different solution, possibly Alfuzosin.
