Kim Kardashian reveals esophagitis diagnosis
Kim Kardashian has revealed a diagnosis of esophagitis in a trailer for the eighth season of the reality series ‘The Kardashians’. The condition, which involves inflammation of the tissues lining the esophagus, has caused significant emotional distress for the family due to its connection to her late father, Robert Kardashian, who died of esophageal cancer in 2003.
The trailer depicts Kardashian discussing the diagnosis and shows footage of her in a hospital setting. Her mother, Kris Jenner, is also shown reacting emotionally to the news. While esophagitis is distinct from esophageal cancer, it can cause symptoms such as heartburn, chest pain, and difficulty swallowing. Potential causes include acid reflux, infections, or certain medications.
