TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Celebrity Kim Kardashian has revealed that she has been diagnosed with a brain aneurysm, sharing the news in a teaser for the seventh season of her reality series, The Kardashians, streaming on Hulu.
In the clip, Kim is seen undergoing an MRI scan before calmly informing her family of the diagnosis, prompting a spontaneous reaction from her sister, Kourtney Kardashian, who exclaimed, “Wow!”
Kim explained that her doctor attributed the condition to stress. “They were like, ‘Just stress,’” she told her family, as reported by People.
Stress Following Divorce from Kanye West
Kim acknowledged that stress has been a major factor in her life recently. The SKIMS founder was seen in emotional moments throughout the show, from preparing for her law school bar exam to navigating her separation from Kanye “Ye” West, the father of her four children.
“I’m happy that it’s over,” Kim said, her voice trembling. “My ex will be in my life no matter what. We have four kids together.”
She also admitted to questioning herself during the process: “Last night I was like, ‘Why the f---- is this happening?’”
Recurring Health Challenges
In the premiere episode of the new season, Kim also shared that her psoriasis, a skin condition she had previously experienced, has resurfaced. “II haven’t had psoriasis since I got divorced, and it just started coming back,” she said.
She explained that the stress of protecting her children from challenging situations with her ex has worsened her condition. “I felt more stressed, probably just because I had to super, super protect what I had to protect,” Kim said.
The reality star emphasized her commitment to her children’s well-being: “They’re gonna grow up, they’re gonna see. So my job as a mom is to just make sure that — at a time when that behavior is happening — is just to make sure that they’re protected.”
Understanding Brain Aneurysms
According to NBC News, a brain aneurysm occurs when an artery swells like a balloon due to weakened blood vessel walls. Aneurysms can develop in different parts of the body but are most commonly found in the brain and the aorta.
If an aneurysm ruptures, it can lead to stroke, brain damage, coma, or death. However, not all aneurysms are dangerous.
“Aneurysms are more common than you think,” said Dr. Nina Moore, a neurosurgeon at the Cleveland Clinic. Many people live their entire lives without symptoms or complications.
“Most aneurysms show no symptoms unless they press on nerves or change shape,” she added.
The American Heart Association estimates that 3 to 5 percent of the U.S. population have a brain aneurysm.
Dr. Laura Stein of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai noted that the condition is more frequently seen in women, especially post-menopause. Risk factors include family history, high blood pressure, smoking, and inflammation.
Focusing on Recovery and Mental Health
Despite the serious diagnosis, Kim appears committed to maintaining her mental health and focusing on recovery. “I feel more stressed, but I have to protect what’s important,” she said, highlighting her dedication to her children.
She also addressed lingering feelings about her past relationship with Kanye. “I always felt really bad and always protected and always wanted to help [him], but this was the first time I didn’t feel that responsibility personally.” she said, signaling a shift toward self-care and emotional well-being.
