I should discuss with my doctor the benefits and risks of each option I was offered.

I have been told that I will be prescribed anticoagulant drugs (blood thinners) which may cause unwanted bleeding. 

Are they really necessary for my condition?

OACs reduce stroke rates in AF patients
A friend of mine has AF but is under no blood thinners, maybe I can get away with this drug class
A friend of mine has AF but is under aspirin, maybe I could get the same treatment
I want to have AF restored to Sinus Rhythm and take blood thinners only for 1 month.
