Long work hours: See your pcp to evaluate palpitations. Nicotine can trigger palpitations. Ask about smoking cessation help. Your long work hours are unhealthy. Seek counseling for ways to cut back your work hours and stress management. Although you are young, the stress of an 80 hr work week may already be taking a toll on your health. See:http://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/stress-management/basics/stress-basics/hlv-20049495 I hope this helps.
