This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Berberis Vulgaris 6c may help you. This should slowly dissolve the 'stag horn' stone but it may take some time especially since it is 19mm in size.
How long have you had this problem and when did you first notice the Hypertension ?
You may also consider having the stone blasted on a Lithotrypter which is a painless procedure. Since it is large at 19mm it should be easily shattered but the problem then would be to ensure that the tiny pieces come down the Ureter into the bladder and later down the Urethra on the way out.
This could be painful.

Hey Rasheed, how are you doing?
Consider lifestyle modifications. As the cardiovascular disease risk factors are assessed in individuals with hypertension, pay attention to the lifestyles that favorably affect blood pressure level and reduce overall cardiovascular disease risk.
A relatively small reduction in blood pressure may affect the incidence of cardiovascular disease on a population basis. A decrease in blood pressure of 2 mm Hg reduces the risk of stroke by 15% and the risk of coronary artery disease by 6% in a given population.
JNC VII recommendations to lower blood pressure and decrease cardiovascular disease risk include the following:
* Lose weight if overweight.
* Limit alcohol intake to no more than 1 oz (30 mL) of ethanol (ie, 24 oz [720 mL] of beer, 10 oz [300 mL] of wine, 2 oz [60 mL] of 100-proof whiskey) per day or 0.5 (15 mL) ethanol per day for women and people of lighter weight.
* Increase aerobic activity (30-45 min most days of the week).
* Reduce sodium intake to no more than 100 mmol/d (2.4 g sodium or 6 g sodium chloride).
* Maintain adequate intake of dietary potassium (approximately 90 mmol/d).
* Maintain adequate intake of dietary calcium and magnesium for general health.
* Stop smoking and reduce intake of dietary saturated fat and cholesterol for overall cardiovascular health.
Ask your doctor about medication. Treatment of hypertensive crisis consists of the acute reduction of blood pressure using aggressive pharmacological therapy, followed by maintenance therapy with oral medications.

all the last post advice is good --EXCEPT- for gods sake do NOT use agressive pharmacology.
This sort of thing temporarily suppresses symptoms .
Result apparent cure , BUT actually the problem is driven inwards in accord with Hering's Law and the eventual result is a chronic condition that is incurable!.
Lycopodium is an very good remedy for stones. To defur the kidneys and make the body work more effectively try Sars.
Both these you can read up on and select the best . But also see a GOOD homeopath.

I would not recommend that you take 20 drops Berberis V Mother Tincture or Q, twice daily for a month as this is obviously an overdose.
I recommend that you take the 200c potency as follows:
Get a 500ml bottle of water from which you have decanted 200ml. Put just one drop of the remedy into it. Succuss it twice (Bang it hard on your palm and watch for the water to bubble up) and take just 1 teaspoonful 4 times daily. Succuss it every time you sip the teaspoonful as this raises the potency very slightly and is the secret of this therapy which was shown to me by Dr Luc de Schepper.
