My five year olds behaviour is worrying me

Please can you give me any advice, my five year old daughter has for the last six months been deteriorating with her behavior due to her having serious tantrums which can now be timed to approx 45mins an outburst.
These out bursts are usually due to her school shoes as she says they are to tight or to loose and they move, if we tighten or loosen them occordingly then the problem becomes reversed, we have taken her and had her feet measures and she is now in fitted shoes which do fit fine although we are still having the problem to the point she is making her feet red and sore where they are done up so tight but apparently not tight enough.
Recently this has escalated to her slippers, and recently her pyjamer bottoms being to tight although they were loose and she had worn them the night before happily.
Another problem has come to light the other week where she sat at the table but said she was to far away so her chair was adjusted and she said it was to tight after a couple more movings of in out she was in tight then said it was not tight as when she breathed in she could get her finger up the gap beetween her chest and the table.
We are getting these issues nearly everyday now and it has got to the point we really dont know how to handle it properly can you give us any advice please

It would be wise to have her evaluated by an Occupational Therapist for the purpose of determining if she is displaying Sensory Integration Disorder. This is a broad category that includes a number of ways in which the brain processes sensory input in ways that are uncomfortable or distressing for the child. Occupational Therapy is the discipline that evaluates and treats such conditions.

I know Dr. Kennedy has already answered and may be better able to help. I have found though that my son (4yr 9mo) complains unnecessarily (and i'm not saing there isn't a real issue here) when he is seeking attention. so the food may be too hot or too cold, can't hear tv or it is too loud, say he's hungry but doesn't eat (even if it is what he asked for).

has something changed in her routine recently that may have caused the craving for attention?
