Breathing is regulated by the level of carbon dioxide in your blood (more specifically, carbon dioxide creates carboxylic acid in your blood and this pH decrease causes you to breath) unless you've suffered trauma to the brain. Blood pressure may indirectly cause carbon dioxide levels to raise due to increased metabolic demands of the body to maintain the higher blood pressure
