Is feeling lightheaded and nauseous part of hypothyroid symptoms?

I hope someone can help me with my current symptoms:  I have noticed that I feel lightheaded and shakey almost 2 or less hours after every meal. It feels like hypoglycemia.  I am taking .025 mgs of Synthroid because my blood work indicates I have a hypothyroid.  I was given Lexapro for anxiety because of the other symptoms that I am suffering, but had a very bad reaction.  

This is my history:  12 years ago I had surgery to remove a growth on my right thyroid that was causing  hyperthyroidism (long story short is that this condition was treated/misdiagnosed for almost  13 years) after my surgery my left thyroid kicked in and I did not need meds..until last year when I told my doctor that I felt my hyperthyroidism was back because I had alot of the same symptoms...an ultrasound revealed I have a small nodule in my left gland and my blood work indicates a low thyroid.  My sugar levels are normal so diabetis is not the problem...

I am overly emotional, anxious and feel depressed at times...this is not my normal self,  I am 57 years old and menopausal, I have not seen an endocrinologist in 12 years, my primary is an internalist and am also being followed by a surgeon.  Please help

You are Hypo by the sounds of it.
Get your labs done again.
All the symptoms you have are Hypo but to be sure...check your pulse.
Thats usually one of the symptoms...slow pulse...also aches, pains, constipation, depression, crying, brain fog.
Need I say more?
If in doubt, sort it out...get labs :)
