What should be done if you are choking and nobody else is around?

Question

Is there a way to save yourself?

Answer 1

The first thing you should do is call 9-1-1 or ur emergency provider. and then open your front door so that if something were to happen to you the Emergency workers would be able to see which house they need to go to. Then find a hard surface, like a kitchen counter that has a soft corner or a sturdy chair and fall on the chair forward, or pull the chair in a upward motion just under ur ribcage.

Answer 2

I was in a CPR training class, you yes, you can technically perform CPR on yourself.... when you are chocking, usually someone from behind grabs you and does the Heimlich maneuver... but when no one else is around, you can literally throw yourself into the back of a chair, and if you get it in the same spot, it's the same thing... the upward force of pressure should dislodge the object caught in the throat, and you should be fine.
Although it would take a couple of tries, it would beat passing out do to lack of oxygen... your best bet? don't choke.

Answer 3

When you choke, you can save your own life

Here are the steps:

1. Make a fist and put the thumb side of your fist against your belly, below the ribs and above the navel, in the same way you would do for others.
2. Grab your fist with your other hand and press into your upper abdomen with a quick upward, thrust in the same way you would do for others.
3. Repeat until you get rid of the object.

OR

1. Lean over a table or chair edge so that your upper belly, below the ribs and above the naval, is on the edge of the table or chair.
2. Quickly and firmly thrust upward against the chair or table until the object comes out.

Answer 4

i hope that never happens to me because from what everyone is saying I don't think i would be able to dislodge my choke. probably just beat myself up from the front and nothing would come up. Hopefully it never happens. I'm gonna eat slower for now on

Answer 5

Yes, bend your torso over the back of a chair and ram your lower rib cage into the chair, as if someone was giving you the heimlich.

Answer 6

yes you can perform the heimlich on yourself or try to force it out of you by bending over the back of a chair.

Answer 7

What I did was stick the back end of a really long kitchen spoon down my throat and the dorito went down.

Answer 8

call 911 first and foremost, try dislodging it yourself and hope the paramedics get there before you go too long without oxygen to your brain.

Answer 9

get in front of the kitchen sink. place you chest area there & push very hard against it til your unchoked.

Answer 10

stuff a wire hanger down your throat and break up the clog, or pour drano down your throat....but be careful because too much can kill you
