We examine the hydrostatic stress of electrons strongly confined in a quasi-two-dimensional quantum well in the presence of a strong perpendicular and weak in-plane magnetic field. This introduces anisotropy into the stress tensor which is inconsistent with the notion of the quantum Hall droplet as a simple two-dimensional electron fluid.
