Kim Kardashian reveals scary diagnosis: "I haven't really told too many people about this"
Los Angeles, California - Kim Kardashian revealed her esophagitis diagnosis after dealing with some of the symptoms on The Kardashians.
On the October 29 episode, the busy mogul is seen on the set of her upcoming comedy, The Fifth Wheel, while also battling exhaustion and fatigue.
In her confessional, Kim told viewers that she'd been "feeling a little off lately" before a brief clip showed the reality star saying that she'd been suffering from headaches and throat was throat bothering her.
After confirming that she went to see a few doctors, the 46-year-old was diagnosed with esophagitis and was recommended to start taking medication and then come in for a procedure.
Kim explained, "I haven't really told too many people about this, just because I think it's something that really hits home for me.
She continued, "I just don't really want to go there with my dad having passed away from esophagus cancer."
Will Kim need surgery for her recent diagnosis?
The teaser for the Hulu series' eighth season showed the All's Fair actor being prepped for surgery before being wheeled away as her mom, Kris Jenner, stood by.
Kim says in a voiceover, "The doctor said my esophagus has these irregularities, and I have to have them cut out."
She added, "That's the same thing my dad had."
Robert Kardashian Sr., who was also the father of Kourtney, Khloé, and Rob Jr., died at the age of 59 in 2003.
Kim further confessed in the latest episode, "Hopefully I can just take medication, and this will go away. But I just don't know what’s going to happen."
