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.

They are probably giving him oxygen prior to public appearances to perk him up.

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

I think you may be right.

If he has sleep apnea, he should be using a CPAP EVERY night. My doc didnā€™t say to use it on the occasion when I felt like I might stop breathing a couple dozen times a night. You use it every night. If the President of the United States has a tendency to stop breathing while he sleeps, Iā€™d assume heā€™d always use a CPAP.

I think this is a lie.

I donā€™t. I thought about that. But my skinā€™s not 80.

That said, if this were true, you should see CPAP marks on his face every day.

They always lie.
I heard a rumor (I might have started) that Biden wears a muzzle so he can’t bite his handlers.

“Do people with CPAP treatments show ā€œmask marksā€ into their day?”

If he’s showing mask marks then he has the wrong mask or is using it wrong. My wife and I have used a CPAP since they were invented in 1988. There are a variety of mask styles but they are not designed to tighten so much they leave marks. They are used to set a gentle seal and assist breathing by keeping your airways open while you sleep so you can receive the oxygen you need for optimal function. Even the name stands for a series of words to describe it’s use:

continuous positive airway pressure

There are full face masks, and nose only covers. I used to use an all cloth full face one that was gentle on skin and was great for a steady air flow when it inflated. But they stopped making it. Too bad as I was using that for about 15 years, successfully.

Sleep apnea can be deadly. Reggie White, the famous defensive end from the NFL died on December 26, 2004, at age 43 from a cardiac arrhythmia, which many believe was partly caused by his untreated sleep apnea. The football legend’s CPAP machine was found at his bedside ā€“ unused.

LOL !!!!

My first thought was that he fell face first with (if the apnea is true) the mask on.
