6 Day working weeks as a 19 year old

I work in Retail and my shop is short staffed as always, this means I am doing 6 day working weeks and only having 1 day off before I’m back in again. Is this allowed? I’m working 38/39 hour working weeks when it was only 32 hours that was discussed in my interview and advertised for the job. These aren’t just normal 9-5 days either. One day it’ll be 2pm-10:15pm and the next day 10:30am-7pm. I’ve noticed my hair start to fall out more and more and my body is starting to ache all over, I’m having digestive issues and my eye bags are sinking into my cheeks. I’m only 19, I shouldn’t be feeling like this. I think out of the 7 months I’ve worked there I’ve done about 8 32 hour weeks. I think I’m gonna quit soon 🤦‍️.
