Hello,
That is called paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, and there is no need for anticoagulation therapy. Beta-blockers are for controlling hight cardiac frequencies. You are young and without any other cardiac or stroke risk factors. For the moment it's not a problem. You should visit the cardiologist for routine controls.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Anila Skenderi
