The *All’s Fair *actress and Skims founder, 45, was asked about her current condition while visiting *Good Morning America* on Tuesday. **

"This week has been the hardest week of my life," Kardashian lamented.**
According to the Mayo Clinic, a brain aneurysm is a “bulge or ballooning in a blood vessel in the brain” that can form when blood “puts pressure on a weak area of the vessel wall.” While it is a relatively common condition that can be treated via surgery, some brain aneurysms can become life-threatening if they unexpectedly leak or rupture.**
*The Kardashians* streams Thursdays on Hulu. Watch Kardashian discuss her health in the clip above.
