What to do if you are choking and by yourself 

0:16 IF YOU'RE CHOKING RIGHT NOW

Raise your hand if you were choking by yourself and decided this was good information to know after the incident 😂

Started choking just a couple of minutes ago, really thought I was gonna die, luckily I didn't so now I'm here in case there's a round 2 lol

I watched this in like 5th grade. Years later...8th grade i was truly choking to death home alone. Health class saved my life.

I started choking on my Takis while I was driving today. I was at a stop light but as soon as it turned green is when I began to choke. Thank god my boyfriend was there to save me. He put the car in park and the hazards on and told me to open the door and try to get my chest below my hips. It took a few a minute but finally I was able to breathe. Please don't eat and drive at the same time, especially if you are alone. That was the scariest thing that's ever happened to me.

I work night shift and was wide awake hungry at 3am, after having a ton of dental work done a few days prior, a few crowns on my teeth. My husband was already asleep. I was eating a sandwich and I started choking, I literally rammed myself into my kitchen table really hard and loosened up the bread to finally get it back up. I was sore as hell after that but I could’ve died that night.

Remember, its better to break a rib than die

I was choked this morning and able to survive because of this tips..thanks much for sharing...but I think I have phobia now to eat due to fear of choking..I still felt my hardened neck and replay in my mind how I was out of breath due to choking...

Ask yourself “are you choking ?”

Also, try to run toward others...at work, run into an open area with people, at home alone..run outside. If choking in your car driving, pull over, and get out of car... people won't know you need help, unless you make it obvious. If you can't dislodge the food, you don't want to pass out alone with no one knowing you need help. So, if you can make yourself visible to others even if you pass out. They can help you, and increase your chance of survival.

Worst part is i’ve never choked and i have no clue if i even know how to do this properly

Glad to see no RU-vid ads

Thanks this is a real life saving tip

I just had a choking incident. Fortunately I grabbed a banana and bit into an apple to force the object down my throat. But I was gasping for air and the item had not thoroughly lodged in my throat to a full blown choking incident. The item was finally chopped ginger root which is not something anybody should ever eat unless it's powdered. Chopped ginger tends to grab onto the side of the throat and can very easily create a choking incident. I thought this was a good idea because I hate the taste of blended ginger in my smoothies. So the reason I'm at replying here to this video is to tell everyone to not eat chopped ginger root whole. It's rough texture easily grabs onto the side of the throat and does not let go. I was fortunate to have banana at the ready as well as an apple and a smoothie to flush down the ginger but it took several minutes to get the darn stuff down. Hence I would recommend powdering it and putting it into capsules or using pre-ground ginger in the smoothies anyway even if you don't like it. Thank you for the wonderful video

That 15 second unskippable ad 😂 if someone was choking and needing this they’d be pretty disappointed

Great advice - could save your life.

Thank You very much Sir!

When i was choking for a few seconds i saw my life in front of my eyes

How there are ad’s on a video like this is beyonddddd me

they should teach you this in school, was choking just now, but managed to get hold of the top part of the item and after 2 or 3 goes pulled it free! I had no idea you could self heimlich

Why is there ads in this video

Thank you !!!

Saved my life.......

Thank you❤

i remember when i was choking home alone and then i saw this video and tried it and it worked

I went to the er for a piece of stuck cucumber that wouldn't go down,I could still breathe but I didn't know that the hospital asks you to drink a can of COKE down vigorously!and it actually helped!! Couldn't believe it. When my son was young he choked on Mr noodles,it was the scariest thing ever, I couldn't even access his throat,it was hard like a brick wall omg.. luckily he vomited and it all came out. Thank God.

Comment for the algorithm since this is important

Me who choked and couldn’t breath for 15 seconds and some how there was luck there was water but didn’t help on first sip the second huge sip it worked

I was eating candy pretty violently and got worried.

love the ads beforehand

Thanks. What I also did was just to throw up the object in the sink but whatever works 👍

Some years ago I watched a video, could have been this one, which taught me how to save my life. I am alone a lot, and in my 60’s, female, in Australia. I have needed to do this 3 times on the past couple or so years, and one was very recently. It is not always food but can be a burp after drinking some mineral water and a swallow at the same time, caused my breathing valve to close and I could not breathe at all. Having been n in this situation before and bashed my diaphragm onto the back of a chair a couple or 3 times I could breathe, so did it again. I have even made a video on my own channel for those in an emergency situation as I have done. I teach this to as many people as I can, often, by simply telling them what to do and making sure they remember it!

choking seems so scary to me hopefully it doesnt happen to me or anyone else.

who else just thought of this and got scared if you choked you had no one else near you 😭😭😭

Comment for the algorithm. I like this tip. 😎👍

it's funny how this isn't taught in school.

I remember doing this with a table several years ago, I felt clever then remembered I was an idiot for eating too much 😂

Sounds good - thanks. Years ago I started choking on a hard taco shell at Taco Bell, I was getting bad, and then tried eating more, and dislodged my block, it worked - don't know if that's advisable - doing nothing wouldn't have worked

Can no longer call it the Heimlich Maneuver, sorry. It is now called abdominal thrust maneuver. When the American Red Cross introduced back blows to its official guidelines on treating choking, Dr Heimlich disagreed that back blows should be used and asked that his name be removed from the guidelines. Leading to the renaming of the Heimlich manouvre as an Abdominal thrust.

I've had to do this! Choking in my apartment alone, used to have big wooden chairs and they were right at my stomach height, slammed myself into the back of one and got it out in one try! Hurt so bad lol. But I am alive!

Shame on youtube for placing ads on something like this

Ad before a choking video 😂 Good that it's short

im choking rn dunno if this will work, im skeptical. Im going to sleep hopefully i feel better in the morning.

So make sure to tell kids

Yeah it happened and i thought what if i was alone

Dude I got an ad if I was choking and wanted to see this video I would have been dead lol

Where at on your stomach does the chair need to be?

bro this video literally had an ad, what if someone was choking and died cuz the ad bruh

how did many of his students end up choking. Is it like once you see this video you will choke. I am scared

I was drinking a big slug of water a couple weeks ago and breathed it in by mistake or I think that is what happened it was terrifying I couldn't breath it's tough to think rationally I stepped away from my phone tried a couple attempts at the hymlic but I was thinking I should've known how to do it properly I'm still not sure if my epiglottis closed or if the slug of water simply blocked my airway luckily after a minute or so I was able to take small breaths terrifying

i had a choking incident at school today and i told my friends but they wouldn't help me (we have all been taught cpr before) and then i looked around at the teachers who apparently didnt notice me and they didnt try to help me so what i did is i went over to a bin and i tried coughing the item out, it didnt work so then i tried to pull the item out with my hands and the item was luckily long enough for me to be able to grab and pull out and throw into the bin.. i didn't eat any more of my food because i didnt want to choke again... this video was very helpful because if something like that does happen again then i could just lodge myself into a chair or whatever is nearest to me and try cough it out.

What if I trumatize my solar plexus?

Like a termite, chocking on a splinter.

I was gonna do this until I did the hugest cough ever and it flew out somewhere lmao

Now..how do i get rid of stomach pain bcs that rlly hurts.

FOR PREGNANT WOMEN - Do something like this here on yourself: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-y9ZzujxLdrM.html (it's shown around 2:30). Place your fist with the thumb side on the center of the chest (lower third of the sternum), wrap the other hand around it and push. You can also try to slam your back into a wall while coughing.

This shit saved my life lol

me personally, I think, I'll just die

Help im choking

Why tf was there an ad tho???

Does it actu

Chelsea Deboer brought me here 😀

I was choking on a chip that I was eating and I was gagging and shit🥲

I press my abdominal hard enough but I do not feel any air coming out of my mouth.

I learned this from Liz Lemon on 30 Rock

Wait is it at the ribs or stomach/belly? I don’t wanna crush my ribs unless I need to

I've seriously choked twice in my life, first time was like a good 90 seconds, everyone around me panics .. and I just stopped choking randomly. Second time I was home alone, this was a really good choke, no cough or anything. I panicked, I have asthma so I panic attack somewhat when I can't breath well. I didn't know what to do .. I ended up tripping (something I never do) landed on my chest and that freed it ... So yeah ... if you got nothing to do might not hurt to body slam the floor.

Intelligent design: make eating hole same as breathing hole!

Maybe turn off ads for this video so that people seeking emergency advice don’t die so that you can make a quick dime?

What if you're a pregnant woman?

Ah yes i had a two min ad before this in that time i could die 😂

Seems like if better be a soft surface, or put a pillow on it, to avoid broken ribs, etc.

What if you are short and nothing is that low?!

Isn't there a risk that organs get damaged by pointy tables or chairs?

Cant we do this with our fist??

i will now be marrying a doctor, so that i wont have any problems in the future.

Lmao just got a ad on a choking video

I've chocked myself twice in my life and both times alone and honestly after a few seconds, I just kind regurgitated and I was completely fine, but the first time it scared the crap out of me but the second time I was like oh no here we go again, and neither am I stating that you should try it yourself but if you do start choking you panic a bit and you can't exactly get up or scream and I had no idea how to do the heimlich on myself so I just was like "Eh screw it." And lived and thought it be a funny story about me being an idiot.

So its 12 :39am and just search for "wth to do if u r choking" for fun

Omfg there were 2 ads playing in the beginning of this video lol

I find my sword collection to offer far more elegant solutions.

Scariest shit ever tbh

When My old lady starts to choke on my gummy bear what should I do ?

You need to tell your students to chew their food

Jesus loves you!!

Alot of people freak out when choking what I do when I choke (happened a few times) is stick my fingers down my throat and try to dig it out, if that doesn't work I make myself throwup
