Hello,
Your daughter will need a thorough check with her doctor, a good physical examination and maybe some blood tests as well. Excessive sleep can be due to many possible conditions from just stress and depression to more important conditions like autoimmune or tumors.
It is good the xrays and ekg are normal, other tests are needed to be done as well like CBC, ERS, TSH, FT4, glucose levels, lipids, ALT, AST, creatinine, electrolytes, etc.
I hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
