General Hospital actress Kirsten Storms will undergo surgery for a brain aneurism.

Kirsten Storms is fighting another battle

General Hospital actress Kirsten Storms has endured many health challenges in recent years. Several of them led to her beign temporarily replaced as Maxi Jones by Jen Lily and Nicole Paggi.

The 41-year-old dealt with stress that caused weight loss and splotchy skin, damaged her finger when throwing away a bag of trash, and received cruel comments from fans when she gained a significant amount of weight. She lost the extra weight and her followers have been saying how healthy she looks..

She has been open and honest with her followers and also shared on social media that she was diagnosed with being stressed out, depression, and COVID. She even had a coffee tin explode and the grounds sprayed across her face. Her most serious medical situation was in 2021, when she had a cyst removed from her brain.

Storms, who stepped away from GH a few months back to move to Texas, was expected to return near the end of the year. She has now revealed a new health challenge, but it's unknown if this will affect her return date.

PEOPLE reports that the soap veteran will undergo surgery in a few weeks for an aneurysm, revealing she said “my brain seems to be sorta lowkey rebelling against me” amid ongoing health struggles."

Kirsten has been a fighter

The actress has been in the public eye since she first portrayed Zenon in a Disney film. She began playing Bell Black on Days of Our Lives at 14 and later appeared in two Zenon sequels. She admitted feeling the stress of being the sole breadwinner for her family during this time.

Storms shared an Instagram post on Oct. 14 explaining her new challenge. She revealed that while undergoing a follow-up scan for the cyst that was removed from her brain in 2021, her neurosurgeon located an aneurysm on the right side.

She revealed that in January, she had a procedure done “where the doctor [threaded] a camera from my leg up to my brain.” She explained that the path inside your body that they lead the camera through is *insane*…

THE CAMERA GOES THROUGH YOUR ARMPIT, guys. Your. Armpit.) Anyway, because of the *slightly* complex situation with the aneurysm (nothing bad, just not typical), it wasn’t coiled that weekend.” Per PEOPLE.

Storms will undergo a medical procedure called coiling

The procedure Storms will be undergoing is called Coiling. Johns Hopkins Medicine says it is used to block blood flow to the aneurysm (a weakened or bulging artery wall).

This is serious because if an aneurysm bursts, it can cause brain damage or be fatal. Blocking the blood flow with the coil, which can be thinner than a human hair, can prevent rupture. Storms also shared the following on social media.

Since “neurology stuff makes me feel a bit of nervousness,” Sthat she's biding her time with her best friend Emme Rylan (who played her onscreen BFF Lulu), “crocheting the most beautiful sweaters, while my coiling procedure is being scheduled for sometime in the next 2 weeks.

GH fans are praying for the soap vet

General Hospital fans are sending up prayers that Kirsten Storms will once again beat the odds by making a full recovery and returning as Maxi. The return of Nathan West (Ryan Paevey) requires that the character wakes from her coma and deal with her ex-husband, Damian Spinelli (Bradford Anderson), and all the drama that has ensued since she left town.

General Hospital fans are also hoping Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota) will be brought to justice for poisoning the face cream that led to Maxie passing out and being placed in a coma.
