Choking

[Niceguy]

First off, I'm not currently choking... Earlier today I was eating a bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit and did a really weird hiccup just as I was done chewing and was starting to swallow. I seriously thought I was going pass out. I was just before dropping to my knees (I was standing at my kitchen counter) when I finally caught a half a breath. With that breath I could finally caugh and kinda started to get my breath back. My question is. What in the hell do you do when you're choking and you're alone?! Google and YouTube both have little info. Mostly seem totally ridiculous... A few show dropping from a kneeling or a pushup position flat on your chest/gut. Seems kinda stupid but amazingly enough the best odds of working that I could find. Anyone know anything that works in this situation? Odds are it will never happen again, but I would like to be prepared if ever it does. It gave me a little bit of a scare...

The only thing I've ever heard or seen utilized a chair (think kitchen chair back) to conduct a self heimlich... but yes it looks and seems less than ideal.

self tracheotomy. It's the only way to be sure!

I figured you came here hoping it was cats choking on hairballs.

There's got to be some effective way to save youreself... I grew up in a lakeside neighborhood (a horror movie one at that, Crystal Lake...haha) and had plenty of choking/drowning close calls, but this one was probably the worst. It was bourbon barrel bacon and if choking is my way to go, I can't think of much else that would be better...Maybe a muff diving incident with Jennifer Aniston. haha

this is what I have always seen as the most effective.

Niceguy's postings today have been about spanking and choking on pork.


But that's none of my business.

And Jennifer Anniston, so there's some good

Now if I could only get it all lined up to spank and pork Jennifer Aniston life would be great! haha

I teach first aid, and this is quite literally the textbook answer. You're trying to force the diaphragm upward to push air through the trachea to remove the obstruction.

You can also try the belly flop to the floor technique, which I understand can also be effective.

The good news is you have the rest of your life to solve the problem.



Meanwhile, chew your damn food!

[Niceguy]

It was well chewed and a normal size bite. Just a really weird situation. Like a sudden, no warning hiccup just as I was about to swallow the bite.

I think he's getting Bruce Jenner and Jennifer Annerson mixed up.

Deleted the song from YouTube, but this post reminded me of David Alan Coe's "Suzy Shallow Throat."

Chair back placed just above your navel,fall forward and down simultaneously. Replication of the Heimlich maneuver, or interlocking your hands in the same position before belly flop. Say a prayer as you fall forward!
