Stress effects more than just your health, its been a major driving force of evolution (if you accept that view of long term species development). Stress, in the broadest sense, is input from both your internal and extrenal environment that has both physical and psychological impacts.
Stress has been shown to weaken the immune system, to drive the body to excessive production of agressive/hyperacute hormones, and other fluctuations of the metabolism and internal chemistry. Like many things, the drives of stress can be helpfull in moderation, and harmfull in both excess and shortage.
The European centers of OSHA have done some interesting research on the topic. See my source (a pdf file) for a better guidline and future research information

Stress has a broad definition. Stress is good when you are going to cope with a dangerous situations. By stress most people mean bad stress. Repeated stress lessen the function and poor function produces less quality of life. In this sense stress has a variety of adverse consequences. Biologically speaking, immune system under chronic stress does not function as good as that under normal conditions. As a whole, chronic severe stress is to be treated independent of other accopmanied conditions.

Definitely does. When you get stressed, your body burns up large amounts of energy in muscle tension, and you get higher blood pressure and heart rate. So you can suffer from fatigue, malnutrition, and nervousness.
