How to Survive Choking When Alone

You were so hungry that you barely chewed your meal. Now, a big chunk of food is stuck in your throat. If only there were someone around to help you. Your face is turning blue. Is this it? Is this how your life will end? But what if you're the one who is choking and no one is there to help you? How much time would you have before dying? Should you drink water to push the food down? And how could a chair save your life?

Yeah, it's so annoying when they explain what choking is, as if we were born yesterday.

[@wtlifter71]

I've experienced this myself back in April of 2019 and it was the scariest 2 mins of my life. I was alone when it happened and choking nearly took my life that day and nearly 2 weeks later. After the first swallow the food did not go down my throat. When that happened I did a deep swallow and the food was lodged in the middle of throat blocking my airway. I started to panic within the first 10 seconds knowing something was very wrong and I was choking. At about 30 seconds I did 9 hard deep thrusts to my stomach area and the food came out simataniously out of my mouth and nose at almost 2 mins. I was having severe chest pain 3 days later and on the 13 day a blood clot traveled to my heart and I almost had a full heart attack. Choking is no joke and people need to understand the seriousness and the health consequences after. I'm thankful to be alive and never take life for granted. That's my true story.

[@Salena905]

Oh my God! Oh bless you, So how is your health since that happened? I do hope you are alright now. You're right choking is a serious thing & we should all be more aware of it.

[@jessewilliams8942]

It happened to me too. My grandma was supposed to go to bingo and decided to stay home when I was eating Chinese food in the kitchen. She was watching my daughter over the weekend. I was on the phone talking to someone and my food got stuck. I went to my grandmas area somehow and pointed at my throat where she was( she said omg!) and she did the Heimlich maneuver On me. I never ate Chinese food since 2009. She saved my life because of it I stopped eating food for a year and a half due to being scared of eating again. I was 280lbs then dropped to 100lbs. The doctor said if I didn’t eat in less then a week then I was going to die. So I began to eat apple sauce, mash potatoes, and soft food until I was comfortable eating normal food again. It was a very scary situation. I saw my life flash before my eyes.

[@glengamble526]

Yep. I did this exact thing once when severely choking on steak, sitting and eating alone on a patio, at a restaurant. I signalled with my hands to a table in front of me that I was choking…and the guy looked me in the eyes and then ignored me and looked away. I couldn’t believe it. The scariest part was that the food was lodged waaaay down in my windpipe (almost solar plexus level) and my chest literally stopped heaving. I was terrified but also knew I needed to try and stay calm. Simultaneously, I was preparing to die. Seriously. I can’t explain it any better than saying that my body somehow knew it was time and I could feel myself preparing for death-almost resigned to it and hyper aware it was time. And trust me, I’m not being dramatic-I’m not one given to hyperbole. Also, I had initially swallowed some water, trying to wash down the food, and I could feel the water just sitting there, on top of the blockage, swishing around. An incredibly strange sensation, and I was hyper-tuned to my internal body workings. Feeling my lungs stop moving,my diaphragm stiffen and torso start to shut down-very, very odd. I somehow had the presence of mind to stand up and grab a chair. It was one of those wooden chairs with knobby tops and I rammed that into my the area underneath my rib cage. I can’t recall for sure but I think it took a couple of tries…and sure enough, it worked. I exhaled the giant chunk of steak (I was eating too fast and not chewing enough) and also vomited out the water and a tiny bit of food as well. It was an absolutely terrifying experience-scariest of my life. And I am 100% convinced I that, had I not done this, I would have died. Thanks for posting this video!

Jeez that's really intense! I could feel how it must've been whilst reading. I had a similar experience when I was about 10 years old, where I ate some ice which was quite dry/sticky and somehow it ended up stuck inside my windpipe. Similar to you, I remember for a brief while I was preparing to die yet at the same time scrambling to get the message across to people that I was choking. I remember gesturing to my mom, who was speaking to some friends, and at first she ignored me but then I persisted and she got the message - she ended up bear hugging me from behind and after a few attempts the ice literally shot out of my mouth half way across the room. Pretty gnarly how you used that chair to get the steak unstuck though!!

I am prone to choking. I have even choked on my saliva just like that. I avoid talking with food in my mouth. Don't drink soups in public . Avoid powdery and crusty food , if I need to, I moisten it at the front of the mouth before swallowing. My doctor advised not to panic but to have the mouth wide open and have full deep breaths. I have had an Endoscopy done just to rule out any internal problems. Choking is indeed a very serious issue. My family is trained and understands. My dentist too is aware if I raise my finger he has to stop as sometimes suction is not 100% and water trickles down the throat. So make people around you aware of your condition,no shame in it .

Many years ago I had to save myself from choking when I was in a car on a road trip. The seatbelt kind of acted as a tool for doing the Himelich manoeuvre because, as I lurched forwards while choking, the seatbelt stopped dead in its tracks like it does when pulled rapidly. In doing so, it perfectly replicated the conditions of abdominal thrusts and dislodged the food stuck in my windpipe. Seatbelts save lives, kids! So buckle up! If it’s not an accident they save your life in, it might be a choking episode like what happened to me.

A 1 in 2600 chance of dying is actually extremely high... I think they meant that when any given person dies those are the chances of dying that way, not the chances of anything randomly happening to you.

[@mane8246]

Most people choke because they are doing things they aren't supposed to do while eating, or simple because they try to swallow before chewing. If you eat the right way, don't talk and chew correctly it will be practically impossible for you to choke, and if you do it will easily get out of you throat, since you've already chewed it before

[@lucija9178]

I was choking last week but thankfuly my mother helped me, i'm here just to know how to save myself if i start choking when nobody is near me, thanks for this video! :)

[@penndavi281]

Something to point out is to recognise that you are actually choking. I've experienced plenty of times an issue where food might slip down my throat and my esophagus doesn't open, however the food has actually gone down far enough that I'm not suffocating. If this is the case you don't want to try and remove the food by coughing. This could potentially bring the food up only enough to cause you to start choking. If food gets stuck down your throat but you're not suffocating it's best to just wait until your body passes it through or try solutions to break down the food (however personally for me the times I've had food stuck in my throat the food was so big that the solutions they give like drink water or cola did not help and actually caused me to suffocate on the liquids). It is important to call for medical help if the food doesn't dislodge as you may end up choking on saliva.

[@LydiaTereK]

I can personally confirm no.1, it does make it worse, I got from food stuck in throat, to not being able to breathe after drinking water in the attempt to force down the food because it was the first dish of a formal dinner in front of strangers and I didn’t want to embarrass. Cough as hard as you can!

[@LydiaTereK]

Also no.2 is very important too because the food was actually too big for me to swallow but I didn’t realise it until too late

[@lunarian226]

maybe the problem is too much rule while eating the food? I found it kinda weird when I live in a place where people eat like a pig but only found one case people choke to death while eating. turn out he was dine and wine in some 5 star restaurants. I experience food stuck in my throat for almost every time I eat because I eat realy fast. mostly I use water to push it down though sometimes it goes down by it self. I do often experiencing a water that I drink goes to the wrong pipe but never happened while I'm eating. it happens when I got nervous or my mind wondering while i drink something.

[@guitareater_3943]

This one is actually pretty important to know.

[@Sharperthanu1]

To avoid choking in the first place: Always eat slowly, chew your food thoroughly and only swallow little chewed bits of food one at a time.Also sip your drink don't gulp it.

[@accountingstepbystep2229]

And, the best thing would be to have a "LifeVac" Choking Rescue Device which is a portable airway suction device and the unit is good for both children and adults. Keep one at home, keep one in the car. Hopefully they will be there for years and you'll never need to use it, but if you ever do, it's there for you. By the way, I have no connection to this item, I just saw a video or two and was so impressed I got one.

Choking is very scary. It happened to me two days ago. I had swallowed a magnesium capsule. If you have ever taken magnesium the capsules are BIG. First one went down fine. Second one stopped right where your esophagus and trachea come together. I could feel it stuck and sideways in my throat. I'm an RN and knew what was happening and what I needed to do. I could tell I could not get this thing to move no matter what I did. I was eerily calm but at the same time just thinking and thinking how to get this out. I waved to my adult son not far away in the house. He could tell I was choking but I had some air movement. Long story short, I finally pushed my upper abdomen into the edge of the kitchen counter, bent over and the capsule shot out. That was so scary. If was scared to take magnesium again the next day but I did and was fine. I will never forget this experience ever. If you have no air movement at all bend into the top of a chair or arm of a couch. Press your upper abdomen into it and push because your life depends on it. Stay safe all.

I choked on food in the break room at work years ago. There was only one other person in the room, my friend and co-worker. He did the Heimlich maneveur and saved my life. It was hands down the most TERRIFYING moment of my life. I could not inhale or exhale. I could not speak.

[@clairejohnson6522]

I'm glad you are here to tell the tale.Thank heavens for your friend and co- worker for saving your life.

This was a huge embarrassment in school. Im in grade 5 and I choked in school so i’m like “i have to go to the bathroom” so in the bathroom i just choked it out lol

[@svdprvncesse0469]

If someone is choking near me, they’re screwed. Because I’d probably start freaking out more than them.

[@EnzoProductionz]

As a person who can barely swallow food, this is super helpful. I have to chew til its mush and even then, I have to chase every small bite with water. Ive come near death countless times. I choke usually every other day. 😅 Gotta get a barium swallow test done soon.

I once choked on half chewed celery and the strings. Mom was there and reached right down my throat and grabbed that crap.

[@Salena905]

God bless our Mams eh? 😁

[@lilacnpink3864]

I was choked and alone, what I did is I drink water but very small amount of water about 1/2 teasepoon after about 7 seconds I drink another 1/2 teasepoon after 7 seconds I drink again about 1/4 cup of water then the food go down. What causes the choking is our esophagus is very dry, we need to drink water before eating.

[@sharaleetanes]

Thank you for sharing about this. I didn’t know about it. It’s real life and how to survive of chock alone. It’s better 2 people or more people can see it and helping them choking their tummy to air out of the foods.

[@xenarlonia8470]

The reason why I chew for a whole dang year

[@B.O.G]

Step one, never eat alone again.

[@UrHighnessJiyu]

Step 2 never laugh if u eat

[@UnhingedPikachu]

Step 3 never eat huge pieces of food or eat without chewing

[@emmanuelreynoso4955]

Very helpful, thank you!

[@Ben.Orlo88]

I think knowing the heimlink should be a mandatory thing

[@Salena905]

Yeah this kind of thing & other first aid things should be taught at schools

[@abbysworld05]

What I do is I just need to force the food out by coughing hard enough to get the food out without touching down my throat cuz I might just end up making it worse

[@DucLu524]

Thanks for your sharing!❤️❤️❤️

[@Exvinty_editz]

You already uploaded how to survive choking and in that video you explained how to save yourself for nobody's around

[@kielmendoza3154]

Also, theres a difference between choking and your food stuck in Foodpipe but not in windpipe.

[@aba22125]

Ya food stuck in your food pipe is not a big deal. Coke or carbonayed water will get it to pass through. Or worse case scenario you'll need doctor's help. Food stuck in the wind pipe is the real culprit

[@possiblyneil]

Ngl, always thought choking was just an American thing. We chew our food here

[@thegameon4112]

Thanks for telling everything ❤

[@alvexok5523]

I'm someone who's also at risk for heart attack or stroke due to my health condition, so if I were to choke, even if I got it out, I may still have a chance of it settling off a heart attack due to it being such an intense shocking experience.

[@andyharrier]

I almost choked to death on peanut butter once. I developed hiccups while I was eating peanut butter, while it was in my mouth, and I put too much in my mouth. I was not able to swallow and it was half in my esophagus half out of my esophagus some of it was in my throat it hit my vocal cords which made them spasm and closed shut I could not breathe. I was not alone my girlfriend's elderly mother was there but I didn't go and seek help from her I just tried to relax because I realized that in time my throat muscles would stop spasming and my hiccups would go away and I would be all right at least that's what I told myself but in all honesty I really could have died it was bad

[@rebornlife2]

If you die from food, that is your last meal

[@sushilchoudri2379]

Listening to the video makes you think "oh no, I might be dying" even when you have slight pain. Make sure to help people and not scare them first

[@barbaraflowers1599]

Good things that this video I can watch because I've been choking and I am always scared and now I can learn how to do this if I ever choked in the future

[@yeakubbinaziz9186]

[@shreyasphanipendyala1008]

If you are actually choking you wont be coughing whatsoever. So the 911 dispatcher wont hear that. So once they pick up make noise in some other way by banging stuff or hit numbers on the phone. Then make sure your main door is unlocked and try the other maneuvers

[@veryconfused9768]

I have done that drinking water mistake so often, especially when in public area
