I don't have any experience with chemo but the first thing that comes to mind is if you're getting dehydrated for periods from the side effects of the chemo (if any)?

My BP drops very low when I'm dehydrated. They can't even get blood for my weekly CBC, and sometimes I can't even stand up, or sit, I have to lie down.

My oncologist has me drinking sugar-free sports drinks now rather than water, which just runs right through me, no matter how much I drink and does not alleviate the dehydration. My BP would be in the low 90s/high 40s.
