Answer 1

attempt self-heimlich on the back of a chair or something.

Answer 2

If you are alone I believe you are suppose to lean over like a kitchen chair, kind of ram yourself with it a couple of times to dislodge the object in your throat.

Answer 3

I have a very bad problem with choking due to scar tissue in my throat from a surgery. I once choked on a chip in a hotel room and slammed myself backwards-full force into the wall several times while pushing up in the area below my sternum to dislodge it.

Answer 4

Self heimlich on back of a chair, sometimes if small item like rice, standing on your head might help (gravity).

Answer 5

give myself the Heimlich with the top of a chair

Answer 6

I had that happend to me actually. I was hurrying and eating ramen noodles and got the caught in my throat. I couldnt breathe and I couldnt get them to go down so I stuck my hand down my throat and pulled them out. When I did that my grandmother had just came throught the front door...lol

Answer 7

Make an incision at the right spot on my throat... this would let in air directly... then of course get to the hospital one way or another. Email someone I know who checks their email constantly.

try to dislodge with the fingers first then try to apply the heimlich to yourself. I would also try to make it outside to a neighbors etc, in case you black out. you won't be able to talk on the phone so calls are out.

self heimlich myself on a chair back
