Should i be concerned if my mom is 73 and still works. lately in the nights when she gets up she gets so dizzy she can't walk. can you think of ant probable causes?

Check-up time: Her still working shouldn't be a proble but, poor balance is. Make sure she's eating enough calories and drinking enough water every day. She should see her primary doctor for a check of whether this is vertigo (sense of motion) vs other 'dizziness' like fainting, vascular insufficiency or a heart rhythm issue.
