In the episode’s preview clip she tells her sister Kourtney Kardashian, “There was like a little aneurysm,” following a scene showing her lying in the MRI machine (as you can see above).

She claims the medical team attributed the condition to stress: “They’re like ‘it’s just stress.’”

Kim Kardashian, who shares four children with her ex-husband Kanye West (also known as Ye), links the stress to the divorce and ongoing co-parenting tensions. 

She also revealed a flare-up of psoriasis, a condition she said had been dormant since the divorce.

Wait, but what is actually an Aneurysm?

Medical experts from Mayo Clinic define a brain aneurysm as a bulge or ballooning in a blood vessel in the brain, which, if it leaks or ruptures, causes bleeding and can become life-threatening.

“This week has been the hardest week of my life.”
