Is Doctor Consultation Advisable For Rapid Heart Rate While Relaxing?

I have PSVT, but haven t seen a doctor or taken medication for it in over 12 years. I often get rapid heart beat when just sitting and relaxing, ranging from 90-136 lasting several minutes. My smart watch and my phone track it. At what point should I start seeing a cardiologist again. I am 56 year old female. I walk on the treadmill at least 30 minutes daily for exercise.
