It can definately upset your stomach, but enough exposure to stressors could cause other serious effects."Stress can have a major impact on the physical functioning of the human body. Such stress raises the level of adrenaline and corticosterone in the body, which in turn increases the heart rate, respiration, and blood pressure and puts more physical stress on bodily organs. Long-term stress can be a contributing factor in heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke and other illnesses."

Yes. My friend used to deliver flowers, so there was stress from driving, deadlines, sitting in the car all day, not eating regularly. And it really messed up his stomach permanently.

Yes, it can. Some people develop ulcers due to stress.
