Can snoring be caused by high blood pressure?

I know someone who tends to pass out in 2 seconds and snores and wakes up in the same 2 and doesn't realize they were snoring. Is this caused by high blood pressure? What else could it be? The same person tends to breath deep when they are really sound asleep.

According to the National Sleep Foundation, snoring can be a
signal of serious health problems. Studies have found that men who habitually snore have a 50% higher risk of high blood pressure, 70-80% have the chance of ischemic heart disease and a 40% risk of stroke.

Women have 3 times more risk of having high blood pressure and a 20%
increase for the risk of heart disease.

Why do you keep asking this question?
Maybe they have sleep apneia.
Snoring isn't caused by high blood pressure.

Snoring can cause high blood pressure, though.

This person probably has sleep apnea... look it up, you might be surprised.
i know some who snores who's not having a high blood pressure. i guess it doesn't follow that if you snores, you have high blood pressure.
