What Could Sudden Separation Anxiety, Night Terrors And Nosebleeds In A Child Indicate?

Hi. I have a 5 year old girl who is going through some serious issues at the moment. She is experiencing what appears to be separation anxiety for the last while. Doesnt want to be without mammy or daddy. I have also noticed a serious change in her behaviour. She seems to be sad. She is very emotional all the time and somedays will cry all day and often without reason. She complains of tummy ache a lot. Also is having some night terrors and also some nosebleeds. She has some anger issues and has a very short temper at the moment. She has become withdrawn from other people for the last while. Wont spend time with grandparents alone or go on playdates with friends. Do you think that there is some physical illness or do you think that we are now looking at some mental illness please? Thank you. P.s we are going to our doctor on Friday x
