Biden has a strangulation mark on his cheek? The White House confirms that he is using a ventilator, President Biden, and the White House
On the 28th local time, during an interview with reporters on the South Lawn of the White House, US President Biden could see the marks left by the straps on his cheeks. Subsequently, the White House stated that Biden is currently using a ventilator to treat sleep apnea.
According to reports, White House spokesperson Bates stated in a statement that Biden has been suffering from sleep apnea since 2008 and stated that using a ventilator is "very common" for people with a history of related illnesses.
It is reported that medical records released in 2008 showed that Biden had repeatedly experienced sleep apnea.
According to a health record released in 2019, Dr. Biden considered recommending him to use a ventilator, but the doctor also stated that "his symptoms have significantly improved after sinus and nasal tract surgery.".
In Biden's 2021 physical examination, White House doctor O'Connor pointed out two items that he needed to undergo detailed examination, including frequent throat cleaning and stiff gait.
Earlier in 2023, during Biden's most recent physical examination, the doctor did not mention that he had sleep apnea. The medical report shows that Biden's physical condition is suitable for the presidency.
