BEIJING, June 29 (Xinhua) According to foreign media reports, on the 28th local time, when US President Biden was interviewed by reporters on the South Lawn of the White House, the ligature marks left by the bandage could be seen on his cheeks. Later, the White House said that Biden was using a ventilator recently to treat sleep apnea.
It is reported that. White House spokesman Bates said in a statement that Biden has been suffering from sleep apnea since 2008, and that using a ventilator is "very common" for people with relevant medical history.
According to reports, the medical records released in 2008 showed that Biden had repeatedly suffered from sleep apnea.
According to a health record released in 2019, Dr. Biden considered recommending him to use a ventilator, but the doctor also said that "his symptoms have improved significantly after sinus and nasal surgery."
During Biden’s physical examination in 2021, White House doctor O ‘Connor pointed out two items that he needed to examine in detail, including frequent throat clearing and stiff gait.
In early 2023, during Biden’s latest physical examination, the doctor did not mention that he had sleep apnea. The medical report shows that Biden is physically fit to serve as president.
