No other details were released.
Grassely, 90, was first elected to the Senate in 1980 and has been reelected seven times.
He is the Senate's oldest member following the death of Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., in September.
Feinstein faced criticism over her deteriorating health in her final years and her ability to serve.
Many aging congressional leaders, as well as President Biden, have also faced questions over their fitness to serve in recent years.
