Doctor told grandpa he has artery damage and internal bleeding, they don't know from where. he's lost 4 pints in 1 month. what will most likely happen?

Need more info: I am not sure that i understand. Artery damage could be from hardening of the arteries or partial blockage. Internal bleeding is usually from slow intestinal loss from stomach ulcer or colon bleeding. Artery damage & intestinal bleeding are not related, unless he is on blood thinnners causing blood loss. Would need more information.
