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.
