Have you finished your probationary period? if not, they can have a probationary meeting and say your not suitable for the job they employed you to do.
Does it state in your contract that you are expected to do a couple of nights a fortnight? If it does, they can't insist you to do more. If you have done nights up until now but you are now finding that nights are making you ill, that's proof enough that your contract of work is making you ill. They do have a legal obligation to look after your health and should attempt to work around the problem with you but if your on probation, they likely aren't going to do that and like Livia and Vicky said, they can sack you without reason for up to two years.
Are you in a union? if so, this is a job for them to sort out for you. If your not in a union then log and date everything, from the conversations you have with your manager, the dates and appointments with your doctor and so on.
What sort of work is it if you don't mind me asking?
