There are numerous side effects to most all medications. I have found the most help on this site as well as Mayo Clinic web site. Ben Ong has written a book on this drug along with alternative medication options and information. I pray this is of some help for you.
The most common Flomax side effects include:
Abnormal ejaculation -- occurring in up to 18.1% of people
Runny or stuffy nose -- in up to 17.9%
Dizziness -- in up to 17.1%

General body pain -- in up to 8.5%
Back pain -- in up to 8.3%

There are several less common side effects of Flomax that occurred in 1 to 5 percent of people:
Increased coughing
Sleepiness
Chest pain
Upset stomach (nausea)
Sinus infection (sinusitis)

There are a number of side effects with Flomax that you should immediately report to your health care provider, including, but not limited to:
Signs of an allergic reaction, including an unexplained skin rash, itching, hives, unexplained swelling, wheezing, or difficulty breathing or swallowing
Severe lightheadedness, dizziness, or fainting
