The president’s exams of the head, ears, eyes, nose, and throat were all normal, and a neurologic exam, which was described as “extremely detailed,” found no stroke, multiple sclerosis, or Parkinson’s disease symptoms.
According to the report, Biden has a “stiff gait,” and custom orthotics were prescribed to assist with his feet. He continues to exercise five days a week, and his contact lens prescription has been updated.
Dr. O’Connor noted that the most significant health issue that President Biden faced in the last year was his COVID-19 infection over the summer. Despite this, his blood oxygen levels remained above 97%, and his vital signs stayed normal throughout the ordeal. Furthermore, the president hasn’t experienced any residual symptoms related to long COVID.
President Biden is also receiving treatment for non-valvular atrial fibrillation, which causes an irregular heartbeat, but he experiences no related symptoms. Additionally, he has “occasional symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux,” particularly clearing his throat after meals.
