She is a breath holder. My son does the same. If she does hit her head again, do not allow her to sleep for at least 45 minutes. My son does the same exact thing, and the first few times I ran him to the hospital. They assured me it was normal and passing out causes you to catch your breath again. Your body will not allow you to not breath. I know its scary, but my doctor said they usually grow out of it by 4-5 years old

I think she's alright but since she bumped her head she felt a little dizzy which made her look like this.
But when she wakes up if you feel she's acting a bit different and odd, go visit a doctor. It's always better to have a reliable source and to feel relieved .
I hope she's fine.
Take Care.
