Unhappy AA and Fatigue

Hi all,
I have recently relapsed with AA and i am struggling with energy levels.
I get fatigued really easily, even turning in bed or simply bending down gets me out of breath and my heart racing. I always feel the need to lie down afterwards.

Its really starting to bother me as I attend college all week and our college has 3 floors requiring to walk six flights of stairs to walk up (we have lifts but they are usually broken)

At the moment I take glucose tablets when i need them as to avoid dizzy spells and they worked great at first but their effects are now waning
My doctor is trying not to give me too many blood tranfusions as they are hopefully preparing to do a BMT

What can i do to make sure I dont overwork myself? Also, how could I deal with asking my parents/family for help with chores even though they think its because im "unfit" or "lazy" (which im not because i walk to and from college everyday and generally walk a lot of places)

Thanks in advance,
Ashleigh
