I'm surprised your hand still gets tired that fast. First three things that come to mind that do that so fast.

As I read other people saying on the site.
1. How hard are you pressing/grabbing the strings/neck?
Try using less for both.

2. The angle of your hand in relation to the neck.

3. The height/angle of the guitar when you play.

Ok
4. Lack of practices.

I don't know if you have heard of an old song called "Lay Lady Lay"
The verse uses the bar chords A, C#m, G, BM.

Make a bared A on the 5th fret. For C#m move all your fingers down 1 fret and drop fingers 2, 3 and 4 down one string. For G move all your fingers down 1 fret and raise fingers 2, 3 and 4 up one string. For Bm move all your fingers down 1 fret and drop fingers 2, 3 and 4 down one string. Go back up to A and start over.

The chorus is open E then open A, repeat till you go back to the verse.

Words are close to:
Lay lady lay, lay across my big brass bed, till the break of day stay with your man a while.

The bar chords will help build your hands and switching to the open chords will give them a rest and help get you use to switching.

If you don't know the song.... well... I guess it don't matter.
