Kim Kardashian revealed a serious health scare tied to her relentless study routine during the November 20 episode of The Kardashians, telling viewers that doctors discovered a brain aneurysm during a routine full-body scan.
The 43-year-old entrepreneur and aspiring lawyer broke the news to her sister Kourtney after consulting with respected neurosurgeon Dr. Keith Black. He advised her to undergo more scans at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, which led to a troubling revelation: the aneurysm could be aggravated by stress, something Kim has in abundance. Kim’s intense commitment to becoming a lawyer, inspired by her late father, Robert Kardashian Sr., has become a full-time pursuit. But the pressure of balancing her legal studies, business ventures and parenting four children with ex-husband Kanye West—North, 12, Saint, 9, Chicago, 7, and Psalm, 6, has taken a toll.
Despite the diagnosis, Kim isn’t backing down from her academic goals. In the episode, she explained how her educational journey has also become a teachable moment for her children. Earlier this month, she told Good Morning America that she’s trying to keep her health in check. “Health is wealth. And you just have to be careful with everything that you do.”
