Kim Kardashian Accuses Kanye West of Contributing to Her Alarming Health Diagnosis Following MRI
Kim Kardashian has opened up about a serious health issue that arose during a difficult time in her life. She revealed that a routine MRI scan detected a small brain aneurysm, which medical professionals attribute to the stress stemming from her divorce from Kanye West. This revelation came during the premiere of the seventh season of *The Kardashians* while she was discussing her experience with her sister, Kourtney Kardashian.
Health Diagnosis and Emotional Impact
During the episode, Kim, 45, disclosed, “They found a little aneurysm,” a statement that surprised Kourtney, 46, who reacted with shock. Viewers witnessed Kim undergoing an MRI, seeing images of her brain on a screen. Later, she became emotional during a phone call, expressing her confusion and distress about her health situation. Kim reflected on the pressures from her marriage and subsequent divorce from West, indicating these life changes contributed to her alarming health diagnosis.
Understanding Aneurysms
An aneurysm occurs when a blood vessel in the brain enlarges, risking rupture and severe internal bleeding. The NHS notes that unruptured aneurysms are generally monitored through regular medical check-ups rather than requiring immediate surgery.
- Approximately 6.8 million Americans have an unruptured aneurysm.
- Each year, around 30,000 individuals experience a rupture.
- Globally, nearly 500,000 deaths are linked to aneurysms annually, with half of those affected being under 50.
Kim’s Health Journey
Kardashian has been open about her health issues over the years, including autoimmune disorders like psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. A notable incident was in 2022 when rapid weight loss for the Met Gala led to a psoriasis flare-up, triggering arthritis symptoms. Additionally, she experienced placenta accreta during her pregnancies, a condition posing severe risks during childbirth.
The Strain of Divorce
The emotional fallout from her marriage also weighed heavily on her. Kim described feelings similar to “Stockholm Syndrome,” where individuals develop emotional ties to their abuser. In a candid moment with her family, she admitted that she felt relieved her marriage to Kanye, who she was married to from 2014 until 2022, was over, despite their ongoing relationship due to their four children: North, 12, Saint, 9, Chicago, 7, and Psalm, 6.
“People think that I have the luxury of walking away. My ex will be in my life no matter what. We have four kids together,” Kim stated, emphasizing the ongoing connection she must maintain with West.
As Kim navigates these health challenges, her openness about her struggles serves as a reminder of the toll that major life changes can take on overall well-being.
