Unfortunately atrial fibrillation makes you a person at a greater risk for stroke. Blood thinners lower that risk, so the fact that you've interrupted them increases the risk. However given the active bleeding it seems reasonable to have interrupted your blood thinners, at least temporarily until the bleeding stops.
As for Percocet its ingredients are not known to cause afib or bleeding of the prostate.
