they could be herpes( cold sores) or canker sores. Stress can cause canker sores. Usually harmless they go away on their own.
check out this link: here's a picture of canker sores.

The cause of canker sores is uncertain, however associations with human herpesvirus 6, stress, food sensitivities and nutrient deficiencies have been suggested. Canker sores generally take 1 to 2 weeks to heal and may recur monthly or several times per year.
Canker sores usually begin with a burning or tingling sensation, followed by a bump or red spot which ulcerates. Occasionally, fatigue, fever, and swollen lymph nodes may be present in severe attacks. Recurrence of canker sores is common and may continue for years.
Over 50% of our population gets canker sores. 1/4 of our population has this virus but never gets any symptoms. This virus remains in the body even after an acute outbreak is over. Once the virus enters the body, it never leaves. This virus hides in nerve cells where the immune system's protective cells are unable to get to them. New canker sores outbreaks can be triggered by stress, other viral infections, exposure to excessive sun or wind, or anything else which depresses your immune system.
Canker sores are a symptom of a weakened immune system. Exhaustion and stress seem to play a major role in allowing the virus to manifeste itself.

Do these blisters ulcerate after a few days? If so, then it is recurrent herpes which is triggered by stress. Practice stress management and have your doctor prescribe you an antiviral for your condition.
In case they don't ulcerate but just burst and appear again, check if you have a lip biting habit. Especially when you are in stress. In this case it is a mucocele, or fluid packed trapped inside a minor salivary gland. First you must break the habit, then have the mucocele removed.
Good luck!

Sound like mouth ulcers to me - they're well known to develop under stress. The homeopathic remedy called Nat.Mur. is excellent... we find it much better than Bonjela.

It might be herpes labialis caused by Herpes simplex virus (HSV1), that can cause fluid-filled blisters usually on the lower lip and the outbreaks can be triggered by stress.
