President Joe Biden suffers from shallow or paused breathing in his sleep and requires a “continuous positive airway pressure” (CPAP) device in order to assist him with his “sleep apnea,” the White House admitted after reporters noticed the President had indentations on his face, caused by the straps of the device being tightened around the President’s head during the night.
The news comes shortly after a new poll determined that a whopping 83 percent of Americans admitted to having “concerns” about whether Biden has the necessary mental or physical health to be running the country.
Scoop: Biden has begun using a CPAP machine, per sources. The device is to treat longstanding sleep apnea, one of the people said. As Biden departed the White House this morning for Chicago, indentations from the CPAP straps could be seen on his face. Story by @jendeben and me. pic.twitter.com/U4Chkp16Pq

Those suffering from sleep apnea can even stop breathing for up to a minute while sleeping, before gasping or snoring themselves awake. A CPAP machine pumps air into a mask over the mouth and nose during sleep, keeping airways open.
This is merely the latest example of the President’s physical and mental health being called into question, and once again contradicts his physician’s claim that Biden is “a healthy, vigorous, 80-year-old male who is fit to successfully execute duties of the presidency.”
