Originally appeared on E! Online<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n Kim Kardashian<\/a> is trying to keep her cool after being diagnosed with a brain aneurysm<\/a>.<\/p>\n In fact, the reality star has been advised by her doctor to avoid stressful situations since the swelling blood vessel could rupture.<\/p>\n “I called Keith Black, the brain surgeon, and I sent him a picture of it. He was like, \u2018I want you to come in for all this imaging,'” Kim told her sister Kourtney Kardashian<\/a> on the Nov. 20 episode of “The Kardashians<\/a>.” “I asked, ‘Can I wait? What makes it rupture?’ They\u2019re like, ‘Just stress.'”<\/p>\n 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\u2019s Fair.”<\/p>\n “I\u2019m like, \u2018OK, I\u2019m taking the bar exam<\/a>. I\u2019m studying 10 hours a day,'” she explained, noting that her stress level has become “next level to the point of hives now.”<\/p>\n “I have four kids that depend on me. I have to be sane,” Kim \u2014 who shares North<\/a>, 12, Saint<\/a>, 9, Chicago<\/a>, 7, and Psalm<\/a> ,6, with ex-husband Kanye “Ye” West<\/a> \u2014 added. “It’s stressful out there, but this aneurysm can’t be stressed.”<\/p>\n Needless to say, Kourtney was concerned that Kim was stretching herself too thin.<\/p>\n READ<\/b>:<\/a> Kim Kardashian shares BTS footage of bar prep after revealing she failed legal exam<\/a><\/p>\n “I’m definitely worried about Kim,” the 46-year-old said in a confessional. “She has so much going on between work and her four kids that I don’t want her to have an aneurysm.”<\/p>\n Which was why she didn’t understand Kim’s choice to pursue an additional career in law and follow the footsteps of their late dad Robert Kardashian Sr<\/a>.<\/p>\n “I’m not shaming or judging,” Kourtney emphasized to her younger sister, “but isn’t there a time to do it later once your kids are more grown and they don’t need you as much?”<\/p>\n But for Kim, this was the perfect time to study law.<\/p>\n “I love that my kids see me go to school,” she explained in her own confessional. “When I drop them off at school, they see me go to school. I enjoy that.”<\/p>\n Plus, the SKIMS mogul is admittedly “addicted to studying.”<\/p>\n “I love educating myself,” she added. “I just wouldn’t feel like myself if I was always learning and trying new things.”<\/p>\n New episodes of “The Kardashians” release every Thursday on Hulu.<\/p>\n
