Kim Kardashian Reveals Brain Health Scare, Blames Stress From Divorce With Kanye West
American reality TV star and entrepreneur Kim Kardashian has opened up about a worrying health diagnosis that doctors believe may have been caused by emotional stress from her dramatic divorce from rapper Kanye West.
The 45-year-old SKIMS founder made the shocking revelation during the season seven premiere of The Kardashians, where she tearfully shared that doctors had discovered a “small brain problem” during a routine MRI scan.
In the emotional scene, Kim was seen lying inside the MRI machine, later breaking down in tears upon hearing the results. “Why the f**k is this happening?” she cried over the phone after learning of her diagnosis.
Medical experts explained that the condition involves a small bulge in the wall of a blood vessel, which could become dangerous if it ruptures. Thankfully, Kim’s doctors assured her that the issue was minor and could be monitored safely through regular medical checkups.
According to the doctors, prolonged emotional stress from her bitter divorce and hectic lifestyle likely contributed to the health issue. Kim and Kanye finalized their divorce after months of public disputes, social media tension, and custody battles over their four children — North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm.
Kim’s sister Kourtney Kardashian appeared visibly stunned when she heard the news, saying, “Whoa,” as she placed a hand on her heart. Sources close to the family say the stress and emotional strain from the split took a major toll on Kim’s body and mental well-being.
This isn’t the first time Kim has battled serious health problems. She has previously spoken about her struggles with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis, which cause skin and joint pain. During her pregnancies, she also suffered from placenta accreta, a life-threatening complication that nearly cost her life.
In 2022, Kim revealed that her intense 16-pound weight loss for the Met Gala led to a severe psoriasis flare-up, leaving her in pain for weeks.
Experts note that women are more likely to experience brain-related issues linked to stress and high blood pressure. Kim’s recent diagnosis, coinciding with her 45th birthday celebration in London, serves as a powerful reminder that even the most glamorous lives are not immune to the effects of emotional and physical stress.
Meanwhile, Kim’s daughter North West recently made headlines after revealing her bold new look on Instagram, featuring long blue braids, matching contact lenses, and a nose ring — sparking mixed reactions from fans.
