How do I adjust faster to a physically demanding job?

It's been like 15 years since I had a job. I've worked off and on doing web design for my sister but that's sitting at my desk. Before that my last job was working in a food processing place where I was always moving and pushing/pulling large loads. I was also power lifting back then.
Now I have a new job working in a warehouse. I help unload trucks, stack boxes, etc. Its so fast paced. I get a horrible headache, exhausted, thirsty, sweaty, dizzy, sore, and my fingers don't want to work.
Now that I'm older and from pregnancy I have carpal tunnel in my hands and vein insufficiency in my legs.
I've had about 1 week at this job so far. It scares me how sick I feel while I'm working. How can I adjust faster and start feeling stronger?

I think it will just take sometime for your body get used to it again not sure there is much that can be done to speed that process up. All the best though.
