White House confirms Biden, 80, is now using breathing machine to treat sleep disorder - after thick mask lines on his face sparked more health questions
daily mail ^

The White House said Wednesday that President Joe Biden, 80, has started using a CPAP machine to treat his sleep apnea - after he was spotted with visible indentations on his face.

The mask lines were apparent as the president spoke with reporters on the South Lawn Wednesday morning before a day trip to Chicago.

The West Wing quickly shut down conspiracy theories by confirming the lines were caused by the device that helps sufferers breath when they sleep.

'Since 2008, the president has disclosed his history with sleep apnea in thorough medical reports. He used a CPAP machine last night, which is common for people with that history,' White House spokesperson Andrew Bates told DailyMail.com.

At 80, Biden is the nation's oldest president - and thus the White House is continually questioned about his health, especially as he's started to run for a second term in earnest.

Biden's sleep apnea has been public knowledge since October 2008, when the Obama campaign put out the vice presidential candidate's medical records ahead of the 2008 presidential election.

At the time, doctors believed that Biden's irregular heartbeat, known as an atrial fibrillation, was likely linked to his sleep apnea.

In subsequent health reports, the sleep apnea became a footnote.

In a December 2019 medical report, released publicly while Biden was running for president, his now White House Physician, Dr. Kevin O'Connor said that Obstructive Sleep Apnea had been considered, but Biden's condition had improved after he had sinus and nasal passage surgeries.

The president started using the CPAP in recent weeks.

Sleep apnea can be deadly.

Yes. A President wouldn’t “sometimes” wear a cpap for sleep apnea. If his old wrinkly skin showed actually mask marks, you’d see them every day.

“”started using a CPAP machine to treat his sleep apnea - after he was spotted with visible indentations on his face””.

Sounds like b******* to me.

Looks like someone plumped up a BIDEN double's cheeks with tape then covered it over with makeup.

My wife just made a convincing case via online images that this is “facelift tape”. It’s rectangular tape that they use to pull back facial skin towards the ear to make a person look younger. She said this was a case of it being “badly applied”. Her argument makes a lot of sense.

At least we can rule out a CPAP machine.

It is time the someone give Biden the gas mask.
Carbon monoxide will do.
Also Xylon B.
Cyanide would be fine.
But pure fart gas would be fitting for such an ASS as JOE BIDEN is!
Slower than most but sickening for good measure!

“Do people with CPAP treatments show “mask marks” into their day?”

Yes, they do.

i do, yes, for several hours sometimes after I get up.

depends on various things, not all masks are the same, nor are all people and their sleeping positions.

Having sleep apnea isn’t the problem. Having sleep apnea without a functioning brain is the problem.

This is a nothingburger. I use CPAP and probably 40% of my buddies do as well. Very common.

I use CPAP every night for past 12yrs. Occasionally see strap marks in morning for say 30 min after waking up. Only see them if sleeping on my side or MASK IS TOO TIGHT.

This Biden story is BS. No way strap marks last for hours after removal. More likely special drug treatments or O2 just before going out in public.

So in other words, Joey The Sniff is being “Gassed Up” before they let him out in public.

Did the article mention the effective duration and required frequency of the Gassing??
