Questioning my 5 year old daughter...

My daughter is 5 years old and just started Kindergarten. I have never seen a Dr. for any of my "concerns" because I thought she was just going through phases. My worry is that it is just getting worse. She is super emotional and cries and runs when I turn the vacuum on or her dad starts the lawn mower and she's outside, she screams at me in the mornings because her sock isn't right and it's hurting her after we put her shoes on, she can't wear jeans b/c she says they feel scratchy.

She's smaller than most the girls in her Kindergarten class. She whines ALOT. She likes to take cold baths because she says the water is too hot at even luke warm water. She goes from saying things are too loud to screaming at her brother at the top of her lungs. I just don't get it, Maybe there is nothing wrong and I'm just being a worry wart? But these things among others don't seem to be like normal child characteristics.
