Politics Biden using CPAP machine to address sleep apnea

By Gabrielle Ake, Ed O'Keefe

June 28, 2023 / 3:00 PM / CBS News

President Joe Biden has been using a device commonly used to address sleep apnea in recent weeks in order to improve his sleeping, the White House confirmed Wednesday.

Emerging from the White House Wednesday before leaving for events in Chicago, reporters noticed indentations on the president's lower cheeks suggesting something may have been snugly strapped to his face and over his mouth. Bloomberg first reported the president has begun using a CPAP machine. CPAP is short for "continuous positive airway pressure" — a CPAP machine pushes a steady stream of air into a user's nose and mouth, keeping airways open.

Mr. Biden, 80, disclosed in 2008 in medical reports that he has a history of sleep apnea.

"He used a CPAP machine last night, which is common for people with that history," a White House official tells CBS News

Oh my, myself I'm thinking he is in an oxygen tank that Michael Jackson used.

Can’t be the first time he has used it. Something doesn’t add up.

That explains everything.

Biden has not been getting enough oxygen to the brain.

A medical illness or injury that you have before you start a new health care plan may be considered a pre-existing condition. Conditions like diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cancer, and sleep apnea, may be examples of pre-existing health conditions. They tend to be chronic or long-term.

Due to the added risk health problems create for insurers, some pre-existing conditions can raise your premium or even disqualify you entirely from certain types of life insurance. A few common examples of pre-existing conditions include high blood pressure, diabetes, cancer, and asthma.

Highly unlikely this started recently. I recall when the White House doctor stated Biden was in good health except for his stiff walking gate. Funny no mention of sleep apnea at that time. Of course this raises significant credibility issues. What else are they hiding? Incontinence? Mental acuity decline?

I recall all the handwringing about invoking the 25th Amendment with Trump for both physical and imaginary psychological concerns. Here, Biden should be in a old folks rest home and not a question from the corrupt MSM.

One doesn’t admit to sleep apnea in 2008 and “suddenly” start using CPAP 15 years later. Agree, something stinks.

Maybe some new type of Dementia Treatment? Drugs through inhalation. Bet Hunter knows ALL ABOUT inhaling drugs.

What’s that lump on his lower left cheek?

I don’t think it can be his tongue?

Interesting, Joe Biden is skinny. So he should be less likely to use CPAP. But men are more likely to use CPAP than women due to the differences in upper airway anatomy.

If you're snoring, get yourself a sleep test. Reggie White, a famous Defensive End for Green Bay Packers died of Sleep Apena.

I’m on c-pap and it is a very serious thing. It keeps people live while sleeping and not passing away during the night. Brain stop telling us to breath while sleeping

I’m waiting for the question from a reporter that causes Biden to audibly soil himself.

Maybe it would help if he uses it when he’s ‘awake’. If it doesn’t improve the logic level, at least it might make it harder to hear him.
