Sleep Apnea & Hypertension

If my daughter has sleep apnea and gets treatment for it, could it cause her pulmonary hypertension to go away? Can the removal of tonsils make apnea go away? Can hypertension in small children ever stop over time as they grow? How long is too long to have hypertension go untreated? Can adnoids be removed? So much to learn.
Thanks, Mrs K.
