Kim Kardashian reveals brain aneurysm in season premiere of ‘The Kardashians’

(WJW) – Reality star Kim Kardashian has revealed the reality of a shocking diagnosis. 

In a preview for the newest of her family’s reality series, The Kardashians, Kim is seen going into an MRI scanner. She then tells her family, “There was a little aneurysm.” The season 7 premiere of the show aired on Thursday. 

In the preview, the 45-year-old mother of four said the doctor’s reasoning behind the detected aneurysm was “just stress.” Kim implies that the stress stems from the divorce from her ex and the father of her four children, Kanye “Ye” West.

According to the Cleveland Clinic, a brain aneurysm is “a bulge in a weak area of a blood vessel in or around your brain. Most aneurysms are small and don’t cause issues. But a ruptured brain aneurysm is life-threatening.”

According to the Cleveland Clinic, the first sign of a ruptured brain aneurysm is usually a severe headache or “the worst headache you’ve ever had.”

It’s important that anyone who is experiencing symptoms like this seek medical care immediately, the Cleveland Clinic said.

In the season 7 premiere of The Kardashians, Kim also revealed that her skin condition recently flared up once again for the first time since her divorce as a result of stress. She said she is focused on protecting her kids and shielding them from her dad’s behavior. 

The Kardashians airs on Thursdays on Hulu.
