Brief Answer:
It is very dangerous

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
This is Dr Sameer, cardiologist.
This much high bp is extremely dangerous & can cause brain hemorrhage.
I recommend you to start 10mg of Amlodipine & 6.25mg of Carvedilol immediately. But its action will take around 30min. So it is advisable to visit the ER immediately.

I'll be extremely happy to help you further.
Regards
Dr Sameer Maheshwari
