Explanation The blood pressure and the heart rate are not directly related. The short of breathing in the case of sleep apnea may indirectly affect the blood pressure and the heart rate. The absence of the breathing for a short period of time triggers the flight or fight response in the body. The flight and fight response result in an increased amount of norepinephrine...
