Keep in mind, when you read about hypertension at Mayo or Cleveland Clinic, that don't mention TAA either but obstructive sleep apnea is listed as one of the causes.

Secondary hypertension
This type of high blood pressure is caused by an underlying condition. It tends to appear suddenly and cause higher blood pressure than does primary hypertension. Conditions and medicines that can lead to secondary hypertension include:

Adrenal gland tumors

Blood vessel problems present at birth, also called congenital heart defects

Cough and cold medicines, some pain relievers, birth control pills, and other prescription drugs

Illegal drugs, such as cocaine and amphetamines

Kidney disease

Obstructive sleep apnea

Thyroid problems

I need to read the research because there are many people with sleep apnea who do not have an aortic aneurysm.
