Hello,
You might have loss of blood from GI tract, so you have been suggested colonoscopy and endoscopy procedure to visualise interior to check any ulcer or tear or inflammatory lesion if present.
Stool occult blood test, stool routine micro examination, peripheral smear examination, serum LDH also should be investigated for further work up. Provide reports for giving more comment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
