What Causes Nocturnal Seizure In A Teenager During Periods?

Hi - my 13 yr old daughter has just started her periods - perfectly healthy child but since her first period at the end of the cycle - (including her very first period) she will have one nocturnal seizure - she is unaware of them - happens early in the morning around 5.30 am - 6.00 she does not wet the bed but does bite her tongue and feel sick afterwards. She had 4 seizures with four periods then nothing for 3 months... exactly the same pattern - the 3 periods since have been totally normal) -and then early this am she had another... (period finished about three days ago) should I be very concerned or will she grow out of this?.. no epilepsy on either side of family
