Hi,
I am so sorry for your mother's condition.
Low blood pressure will result in reduced blood supply to the vital organs like brain, heart, kidneys.
We cannot tell the exact time before she deteriorates but it is possible very soon unless it is corrected with fluids and inotropic drugs.
Hope I am clear.
