Is this teething or something else? Please offer me any advice!

I wondered if i could ask some advice from other parents as I just don’t know who to ask. Please don’t think I’m stupid, I know everyone says they have ‘these days’ with children. But it’s been going on for weeks now with my little girl who is 19 months.
I keep thinking and getting told by other mums and health visitor it is teething/ toddlerness/ tiredness but I’m just not sure.
The last couple of weeks about 430/5pm for about 30 mins each time she’s been having these meltdowns where she is shaking in what seems like pain, all her limbs go really stiff, she is sweating and screaming at the top of her lungs. It’s a pain scream not an angry scream. She clings to me like a monkey and I have to literally peel her off me. She will not let go of me and her whole body shakes in what seems like ‘pain’??
She is eating but not as much she usually does, some days she eats more than other days. She’s still got wet nappies and doing poos and she still sleeps ok.
I know that’s what they’ll ask me at the drs.
Is this normal do you think?

I’m sorry to ask, I just don’t want to look an idiot by going to the drs and the HV said it's just teething but I just wanted to see what others think and have experienced?
I think she's got canine teeth coming though which I have read are the most painful.
Thank you for any advice or experience.

It could be teething, does she have a high temp or any other symptoms? Is she possibly overtired?

she has no temp, and has two hour nap and sleeps through the night still. It hasn't seemed to affect her sleep. She is desperate to go to sleep, it's almost as if whatever she has going on makes her more tired. She sleeps 630-630, naps 12-230.
