Thyroid issues can cause these symptoms: when I became hyperthyroid, palpitations (and arrhythmia) went bananas and with it came a weak dizzy feeling on and off, with enormous fatigue.
However, I expect other factors could also cause symptoms like these, so good luck with tracing what the major culprit is.

Thyroid - yes, both hypo and hyper, adrenals - I'm not sure. The other problem that could cause all of this is low iron. Check your iron AND ferritin levels. The ferritin should be about 80. Ferritin can be low even when iron is normal so it's important to look at both.

For me, low thyroid didn't cause any of those symptoms - Lyme did.
When you say joint and muscle pain, that's the Lyme part.
I'm finding that a simple remedy is helping me with those symptoms. I get turmeric powder in bulk at the health food store and dip 00-size capsules in it and take one a couple times a day. It greatly reduces the pain.
