My mom recently became diagnosed with cirrhosis and her blood pressure keeps getting low at night and she's been feeling weak and tired lately. Had anybody else experienced this ?

I think this is something that needs checking by her own doctor. Low blood pressure can be related to all manner of issues.

Causes vary between individuals and include:

Old age

Diet

Injury and bleeding

Pregnancy

Dehydration: Resulting from excessive sweating, vomiting, or diarrhoea

Time of the day: Blood pressure is generally low overnight and increases a few hours before waking up and reaches its highest at mid-afternoon

Environmental temperature: A warm temperature usually lowers BP

Stress: Stress normally increases BP, while relaxation lowers it

Illness: Such as allergy, heart diseases, anaemia, neurological disorders, etc

Certain medications: Such as for treating heart diseases, high BP, or Parkinson’s disease

Only a doctor can look into it properly for her/you.
