Black outs and symptoms similar to hypothroidism

For the past few months, I've felt extremely tired and out of sorts. I thought it was merely stress related from working too much. However, within the last month, I find that I can't seem to stay up late anymore. Around 11 PM, my body just seems to shut down on its own. Then last weekend while on a skiing trip, I blacked out for a few seconds to a minute.

I remember feeling a tremendous pressure building up inside my head and making me feel very tired and sick before I just totally blacked out. I don't remember anything after that except waking up to my friends who thought I had a seizure of some sort. I've never blacked out before in my entire life even when I've gone for 2 days without sleep.

I've read about Hashimoto's disease, and I'm experiencing practically all of the symptoms to some degree.

I'm in the process of making an appointment to see a physician, but would like to know what other tests I should request or discuss with the doctor. Should I also see a specialist, especially concerning the black out and light-headedness lately?

I appreciate any comments.
