Hello,
It is important to differentiate whether those unpleasant feelings including shoulder pain are due to a PSVT recurrence or from possible cardiac ischemia.
Other reasons should be sought as well. Coming to this point I recommend discussing with your attending doctor on the possibility of performing a cardiac checkup including a resting ECG, cardiac enzymes and eventually a cardiac stress test.
In addition, a close monitoring of your blood pressure values is required to conclude on an anti-hypertensive therapy decision.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
