Kim Kardashian is trying to maintain her composure after being diagnosed with a brain aneurysm.
In fact, the reality star has been advised by her doctor to steer clear of stressful situations since the swollen blood vessel could rupture.
“I called Keith Black, the brain surgeon, and I sent him a picture of it. He was like, ‘I want you to come in for all this imaging,'” Kim told her sister Kourtney Kardashian on the Nov. 20 episode of The Kardashians. “I asked, ‘Can I wait? What makes it rupture?’ They’re like, ‘Just stress.'”
It was an answer the 45-year-old didn’t want to hear. After all, Kim was already feeling overwhelmed with her busy schedule, which included her law school studies and onscreen work as an attorney on All’s Fair.
“I’m like, ‘OK, I’m taking the bar exam. I’m studying 10 hours a day,'” she explained, noting that her stress level has escalated “to the point of hives now.”
“I have four kids that depend on me. I have to be sane,” Kim—who shares North, 12, Saint, 9, Chicago, 7, and Psalm, 6, with ex-husband Kanye "Ye" West—added. “It’s stressful out there, but this aneurysm can’t be stressed.”
Needless to say, Kourtney was concerned that Kim was stretching herself too thin.
