The answer to that I have found is yes - the medicos won’t say that but if your body is using up extra cortorisone (which the body would normally naturally produce) and this is not replaced then hey something must give and what will happen is a crisis. Everybody is different but whenI was sitting my university exams I would go very close to a crisis - didn’t know it at the time but have since worked it out.
If in doubt then stress dose - can’t hurt as much as not stress dosing and having a full blown crisis.
