Your grandfather seems to be having hypertensive epistaxis which is bleeding from nose because of increased blood pressure. Once the blood pressure is under control it usually stops. If bleeding is persistent then he may need to undergo chemical cautery or electro cautery of the bleeding spot
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
