What happened to Kim Kardashian? Details explored as star reveals shocking medical diagnosis

Kim Kardashian recently let it slip that a routine MRI uncovered an aneurysm in her brain, a problem she chalked up to the stress stemming from her ex, Kanye West.

Kim Kardashian reflects on divorce stress after health scare

Kim Kardashian, now 45, was cautioned that stress might be worsening her aneurysms, prompting a pause to mull over how the fallout from her public divorce from Kanye West has settled over her.
