Kim Kardashian Reveals Diagnosis at 45 — Details

The Skims founder and "American Horror Story" star's emotional moment on reality television hinted at something far more unsettling than family drama.

Viewers quickly reacted after Kim Kardashian disclosed she is dealing with a health issue she believes was caused by stress. The moment aired in a new episode of "The Kardashians" and immediately sparked a range of responses on social media — from concern to disbelief.

"my gosh that's so scary i hope she's doing ok [sic]," one netizen wrote. Another commented, "I highly suspect this is made up drama, for whatever reason. I just don't believe it."

A third urged her to take care of herself: "Girl. You have made it in every way.. take some time off. Take it easy." Someone else added, "You have a luxury., your money and your life style., you need to get this checked as soon as possible [sic]."

The online response followed a moment on "The Kardashians" where Kim reflected on how her past relationship had affected her mindset. She described feeling emotionally conflicted and unable to detach.

Later in the episode, she shared a concerning update about her health during a conversation with her sister, Kourtney Kardashian. She revealed that doctors had discovered an issue, which she believed was tied to her emotional state.

"There's like a little aneurysm," she said. Kourtney reacted in disbelief. Kim added, "They're like just stress, and I'm like, why is this happening?"

According to the National Institutes of Health, a cerebral aneurysm is a weak spot on an artery in the brain that balloons and fills with blood.

Some aneurysms are harmless and go unnoticed, but others can rupture, potentially causing stroke, brain damage, coma, or death. Treatment depends on factors such as size, location, and rupture risk, and may involve monitoring, medication, or surgery.
