Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. Without any other corresponding symptoms like pressure on the head, vomiting etc, the complaint by your child could be due to anxiety and associated obsession. Also keep it in mind that she has this trouble only at night and when she lies down and in the process of sleep. Is your child sleeping alone or compelled to sleep alone in the near past? Does she still request for your presence at night? I suggest you to motivate her. You may consult a neurologist for investigation.

Hope this answers your query. Further clarifications are welcome.
Good luck. Take care.
