Kim Kardashian shares health update after doctors discovered brain aneurysm: 'Been there for years'

Kim Kardashian has spoken candidly about her health scare and brain aneurysm diagnosis.

The reality star, 45, has revealed in a new episode of The Kardashians that doctors told her the aneurysm had actually "been there for like years".

She made the admission about her health when talking to her sister Kourtney Kardashian, who shared her concerns for Kim.

A brain aneurysm is a bulge or ballooning in a blood vessel in the brain and there may not be symptoms if it hasn't ruptured.

Kim began: "I did a Prenuvo scan, and they called me today, and they're like, 'Everything looks great. But you have an aneurysm in your brain'.

"They're like, 'It's been there for like years. It was here a few years ago'.

Prenuvo is a comprehensive, whole-body MRI.

Kim said she called a brain surgeon, who told her to go for more tests and "imaging".

"And then I asked, I was like, 'Can I wait? 'Cause what makes it rupture?' And they're like, 'Just stress'."

On the show, Kourtney adds: "I'm definitely worried about Kim."
