Emilia Clarke: Brain Aneurysm

The invincible Daenerys Targaryen from Game of Thrones was diagnosed with a brain aneurysm in 2013. An aneurysm is a weak, bulging area in the wall of the artery that supplies blood to the brain.


 


In some cases, this may lead to a stroke caused by blood entering the brain from a rupture. The scariest thing about brain aneurysms is that although they can be very dangerous, they often don’t provide any symptoms until it’s too late. Some symptoms to watch out for include seizures, fainting, nausea, and neck pain, but they won’t always be obvious.


Kim Kardashian: Psoriasis

Psoriasis is an autoimmune disease which results in a number of skin symptoms, including itchy rashes and red, scaly patches. Though most commonly a skin condition, psoriasis can also inflame other parts of the body and may also harm the health of the heart.


 


While there is no known cure for the condition, it can be managed through a variety of treatments. Kim’s mother Kris Jenner also suffers from psoriasis, which can come about due to stress or certain medications. Smoking and drinking can also cause it to flare up.
