The first & formost important thing to be done after having sypmtoms you mentioned is get your ECG done as it will clarify the picture.
As you having the high BP with the values of 180/103 whcih is quiet significatly high its better if you have consultation in ER.
One of the reason of your BP being high may be the tachycardia which you are having but as far as yor other symptoms are concerned better to be under the observation in ER.
