The White House confirmed Wednesday that President Joe Biden has recently started using a CPAP machine to address his sleep apnea.
The news came after indentations from the machine’s straps were noticed on both sides of his face as he left the White House Wednesday morning, reports CNN. The marks were also visible during a Monday event at the White House, where he was promoting the growth of high-speed internet.
“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 said Wednesday.
