The Heimlich Maneuver for CHOKING

When you choke, you can't speak or breathe and you need help immediately. Follow these steps to save yourself from choking:

1. Make a fist and place the thumb side of your fist against your upper abdomen, below the ribcage and above the navel.
2. Grasp your fist with your other hand and press into your upper abdomen with a quick upward thrust.
3. Repeat until object is expelled.

Alternatively, you can lean over a fixed horizontal object (table edge, chair, railing) and press your upper abdomen against the edge to produce a quick upward thrust. Repeat until object is expelled.

See a physician immediately after rescue.

I'm glad to hear that you didn't panic and managed to save yourself. Lots of people die every year in such bizarre incidents.

Thanks for posting that... GFY saves lives!

bdjuf no I will not be in Florida but I will be in Amsterdam

Yeah this scared this shit outta me cuz I'm pretty much alone. My kids are sound asleep. They would have woken up to a dead mother on the floor. Nice eh?

I heard a story a long time ago about a new bride. Just got married and they were at the reception... did the whole cake thing and she started to choke a little and quickly excused herself. She discreetly bolted off into a back room of the church and DIED!!! Talk about horrific... eesh
