Should I Go To The ER Immediately Given High Blood Pressure Levels And Palpitations?

Hello, i have a question about my blood pressure. A week ago, i was diagnosed with stage 2 hypertension. subsequently, i was prescribed 5mg amlodopine and was told to avoid caffeine. i just measured my bp (after sitting for 10 mins, supporting my back with the back of a chair, my feet flat on the floor, and my left arm resting level with my heart. the reading i got was 180/101, with a bpm of 115. i am experiencing significant palpitations where can feel AND see my heart beating. my question is, should i get myself to an ER as soon as possible? thank you!!
