Dangerously high: This BP merits a visit to the nearest emergency dept. due to the risk of stroke and heart failure. First, lower the BP to a normal level. Next, an exam to determine the underlying cause of the hypertension. Then, based upon the resultant data, the best treatment can be selected. The "crappy" feeling with bending over might be due to limited lung reserve due to heart failure (pulmonary edema).

High reading: Was the blood pressure taken properly? If this is accurate, the diastolic blood pressure is quite elevated. Please take it again now. If still this elevated you need urgent attention.
