Kim Kardashian has a lot on her plate.
On the Thursday, Nov. 27 episode of The Kardashians, the 45-year-old mother of four is joined by Scott Disick to get a scan of her brain amid her ongoing stress.
“I’m so busy in my life,” Kim explains during the episode. “The Bar is in two months. I have the Met Gala. I have my robbery trial coming up. Oh, and I might have a brain aneurysm, no biggie.”
During a previous episode, Kim revealed that a doctor discovered a brain aneurysm that was the result of increased stress. She decided to get a brain scan at the Amen Clinic with psychiatrist Dr. Daniel Amen.

On the way to the scan, Disick tells Kim that he’s “sorry for all you’re going through,” hinting at some underlying tension between Kim and her ex-husband, Kanye “Ye” West.
After her Kardashians producer notes that her “ex” is “getting loud,” a straight-faced Kim replies, “I just can’t really engage. I think it’s just for the better.”
However, Kim expresses to Disick that she finds it “frustrating” that her “character as a mom” is being called into question.

“Sometimes I just feel like snapping but I just can’t,” she admits, later adding in a confessional interview, “My only focus and job is to really just be strong for my kids.”
Dr. Amen confirmed that Kim is “one of the very few people that there were zeros on all the mood, anxiety questions.”
Later, Disick ponders, “I’ve always wondered why Kim has been able to stay so calm during pretty much anything. I mean, she could get into a fist fight with one of her sisters and then be like, ‘Should I get green tea or Earl tea?’ And I’m like, ‘I think you just assaulted somebody.’ ”
Kourtney Kardashian’s ex jokingly adds, “She’s able to bottle up her emotions. Not sure where they go. Maybe she’s tucking them under her butt, that’s why it’s so big.”

And while Kim’s brain scan looked healthy, the doctor is concerned with Disick’s results.
“This we have to fix. We don’t fix that, that’s going to be long-term problems,” Dr. Amen tells him. “Then you end up with issues with impulse control. None of it’s permanent.”
“Oh, okay, I was scared at first. I thought I was f—–,” the father of three admits.
“If you don’t reverse it, then you’re f—–,” the doctor adds.
During the Nov. 20 episode of The Kardashians, Kim opened up about her recent health struggle.
“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,'” Kim told Kourtney. “They’re like, ‘It’s been there for like years. It was here a few years ago.'”
