I almost died tonight from choking, I was fighting a minute before the piece of steak I was eating came out. I wouldn't talk, I couldn't breathe and I felt immerse pain in my throat and even started throwing up a little. An hour later I came here to watch this video as I am still scared.
it is scary, more so when you're on your own. been in that situation myself, luckily i had seen a video on giving yourself an abdominal thrust many years ago. never thought i'd ever have to give myself one tho. Choking on food is no laughing matter at all.
It's somehow strangely very reassuring when you nearly choked to death on a piece of steak half an hour ago that there are other people all over the world who nearly choked to death on pieces of steak too.
I almost choked on a piece of steak today while I was eating alone, after that happened I came to this video and I was surprised to see how many people have done the same thing lol
I watched this video by myself for a reminder on how to do the heimlich maneuver if I was alone. I watched it 8 months ago. Never really thinking I needed to know it. I have EMT training to do the heimlich on others. So For the longest time I thought I only really needed to know how to do it on others. Until today I was home alone and started to choke. I started to panic and then I remembered how to do the heimlich on myself. It took a couple tries but I got it. If it wasn't for this video and my previous training I might not be alive today. Learn how to do it because you never know when you will need it.
Years ago I was at work and started choking on my lunch salad. Jumped up from my desk, grabbed car keys and stupidly drove myself to ER while trying not to breathe or swallow. MOMENT pulled into ER could feel whatever was stuck in my throat loosen and slowly slide down the correct pipe. ER ended up giving me a paper that said chew every food bite 38 times, then drink water. Totally random 38 chews but always in the back of my brain when eating. To this day I can,'t even swallow an aspirin without dissolving it in water, or chewing to a count of 38, then drinking an entire bottle of water.😂
Hears a story that’s happend many times, I ate food and laid down to continue watching my show. It’s like my stomach pushed some of the food up and I started choking, I was panicking but I made a fist with my thumb in and my other hand around and started doing hard upper thrusts punches pretty much right below my rib cage. After a few attempts I spat out what was lodged in my throat. This has happened in my sleep as well, since then, I always sleep on my side.
I would suggest visiting a doctor, as this has happened in your sleep as well. Maybe you have acid reflux , it is common with people with acid reflux to feel like the food is going up their throat. I would suggest you maybe to go to a gastrologist to determine if its something more serious, because it might need special treatment
Never thought I would need a video on what to do when you’re choking as am an adult and never thought I’d choke on something as simple as bacon, I kept clearing my throat until it came out, scariest thing ever
@@AdelineCowgirlAs someone who just choked desperately on a piece of chewy steak, I'm actually just laughing my ass off. Vegan tomorrow ... but when I was 15 I had to go to hospital after choking on a spoonful of peas. Don't eat anything solid.
HI, IF YOU ARE CHOKING ON A DROP OF WATER OR SALIVA, LOOK STRAIGHT AHEAD HOLD YOUR CHIN FIRM TO KEEP IT FROM MOVING AND WITH YOUR EYES LOOK UP TOWARDS THE CEILING, HOLD, REPEAT UNTIL IT CLEARS. IT WORKED FOR ME.
The point is for you to have watched this video BEFORE you’re choking. It’s called “being prepared”. Being prepared BEFORE the disaster happens is the best thing.
I somehow choked on a candy that had marshmallow like consistency this year. I was on my phone while eating and not paying attention and started choking all of a sudden. I was struggling so hard to breathe, I was about to faint since it must have been over a minute for sure and all of a sudden I put my head down as if I’m throwing up, this is when I was able to gasp for some air and slowly recovered. After that it felt hard to breathe for about 20 mins, but I was definitely breathing. It terrified me since I was alone for sure I thought I was going to die that day. Good thing I didn’t panic and just kept trying.
Anyone else have a phobia of choking started about 2 years ago for me it’s like I’m constantly thinking about it when I swallow which makes me hesitate don’t eat half the food I use to eat and lost a good 2 stone it’s horrible
I almost died tonight choking on raisen bran cerial. I was a little high.. and watching a movie and was eating some cerial.. and raisins bubcjed up in my adams apple and i couldnt get it out. Swallowrd and swallowed and nothing.. if i opened my throat up i could get some air through.. but not enpugh to cough. So i stood up and was trying to go get water.. and started getting dizzy then i let out one hard cpugh and luckily it dislodged. I think what really saved me was not panicking.
Today when me and my mom were sitting she suddenly choked on carrot and she had problems of breathing and we treated that with the help of this video thank you saved my mom and my porpose if living
Yes, dial 911 first. It only takes a second. Your brain can survive for a few minutes without oxygen so you have the time to dial 911. That’s in case your attempt to do the Heimlich maneuver on yourself is unsuccessful and they have to trace your call to come and rescue you.
I have Schatzki's ring--- a condition that constricts the esophagus. Sometimes you can make it until the EMTs arrive. In some chocking events you cannot. So it could be life-saving to know how to do a Heimlich on yourself.
scary, I had heard what to do if you are alone, I was cleaning my house once, and had one of those round Bick lighters in my mouth chewing on it...(dumb).. the bottom popped off and went into my wind pipe, i was scared because I didn't want to breath in and make it worse, But remembered the class said to back up to the wall and hit right at bottom of rib cage, it was round, about the size of a dime, it popped out. I was soooo relieved, and always think of what I put in my mouth now. so those clases or videos are definitely worth the watch!
Meat seems to be major culprit. Many times I was situationally aware and felt I should take out the meat with hand because it was about to become issue. I almost died once didn’t know what to do, you won’t cough. That’s when you know. True choking you can’t cough it’s so scary.
i had to do this a couple of years ago when i choked on a donut hole by myself in my kitchen. it was completely obstructing my airway, i could not breathe or cough or talk, it was one of the most terrifying moments of my life. i thrust my abdomen up against the kitchen counter and the donut finally shot out, and then my fuckin dog ate it LOL. i ran outside to tell my dad who was in his car on a conference call and he didn’t react with as much alarm as i was expecting but of course i wasn’t choking anymore
The point is that you should ALREADY be prepared before these emergency situations. It’s pretty stupid if you’re looking up a video on how to stop yourself choking, while you’re choking, and you’re not already prepared PRIOR to the actual emergency. You should be prepared already.
I've got tin foil stuck in my throat. It had been airbourne after being in the freezer, when i accidentally breathed it in. Hospital had me wait 24 hours and still no Doctor. I'm scared, at home now after sleeeping, one week after ingesting the shard. It has led to bleeding in there it seems.Choking to death would be worse!
Steaks a pretty rough meat to chew I’ve had multiple times in my life where I chew steaks and swallow but it gets stuck in the back of my mouth, luckily it wasn’t enough to obstruct my throat and I was able to reach in there with my fingers and pull it out
It’s the same thing. You find a chair or something similar, and perform what she showed in the video. Push your belly into the chair until you stop choking.

please thumbs up on my comment. Pin it, whatever.
Good thinking, but the point is for people to watch this and be prepared BEFORE the emergency.
@@Suedepants100 but I'm just a kid and I didn't know what to do until last minute lol
@@Suedepants100 almost died choking on water
tyyyy
Thank you, had a random panic moment wondering what would happen if I started choking when no one was here with me
Darn hope all is well
Same had a nightmare about this.
Same here
Holy shit I'm alive. Thank you so much. I almost choked to death on a bell pepper chunk! Thank you Google!
Thank GOD

choking is definitely one of the most scary things you can experience lol it’s terrifying
Darwinism
it is scary, more so when you're on your own. been in that situation myself, luckily i had seen a video on giving yourself an abdominal thrust many years ago. never thought i'd ever have to give myself one tho.
Choking on food is no laughing matter at all.
such situations are legitimately traumatizing. I'm glad you're okay.
Bro i was choking from steak to…..
I just thought of this and was like what would I do if I started choking and no one was there??
same
Same
Nbs same
That happend to me a few minutes ago but thankfully i threw it up
Same

I almost choked on a piece of steak today while I was eating alone, after that happened I came to this video and I was surprised to see how many people have done the same thing lol
Great video, only if they were no ads i would have lived
I just choked while alone, thankfully was able to get it out but it made me look up this video. scary stuff!!
I live alone, was watching Brooklyn 9-9 and Holt said “do you know how common choking is,” I figured I should probably learn how to save myself

I was just having some snacks when i started choking on a piece of cheese. Luckily i found this video and i could spit it right away

U drove all the way to the er without breathing?🤔
Why wouldn’t you just like have a coworker try to Heimlich first or something ?
Now you are programmed to chew 38 times
How much water is toxic?😂
Good thing you are safe.
im trying to learn a bunch of medical things in case theres someone who needs my help and this is very helpful if i need help

Well, clearly you haven’t learned your lesson. You should be upright when eating. Stop laying down when you eat, and that’ll stop happening.
Thank you for this video!

If you eat an innocent sentient animal that lived a life of torture, it's only fair that their flesh then takes your life.

Don't eat anything solid.
I blame the pig for being too chewy.
Thanks!

THANKY YOU!!!!!!!
just happened with me
What am I supposed to be doing that will actually clear my throat? I don't think looking up will help much.
@@MajorSkyblueswallow i think
You saved my life I don’t know what to say but thanks
Half a minute is a long time to wait for good instructions, not counting all the time it takes to find this video
The point is for you to have watched this video BEFORE you’re choking. It’s called “being prepared”. Being prepared BEFORE the disaster happens is the best thing.
I had to watched a 1 minute ad, by then it was too late
Here for preventative measures in case
Thank you

I’m here because an hour ago I almost died, I piece of meat got stuck in my throat and is definitely scary when no one is around to help
I almost just died , thanks for the quick tip
You’re not alone. Hope you’re doing well!
I live alone, so this was really nice to find. 😅
Anyone else have a phobia of choking started about 2 years ago for me it’s like I’m constantly thinking about it when I swallow which makes me hesitate don’t eat half the food I use to eat and lost a good 2 stone it’s horrible
I going to do the chair method Before I dial 911 though
I live alone and have a history of choking on steak. That's why I never ever eat steak alone.
Just stop eating steak, dude. Go vegan.
What if you choked on a baby carrot?
@@f.b.8254yeah lol
No lol 😂 vegans harm more animals and the environment then any other regular person just eating a normal diet
Watermelon almost took me out, not today watermelon not today.

Thank you. I choke a lot and it scares me to be alone.
Damn I'm home alone at 1 in the morning having rice and bacon and it just crossed my mind what I'd do if i choke on my bacon. Thank you for thiz
Video helped me lol
I found this video when I thought if nobody around me know the Heimlich Maneuver when I choke someday, hope this never happen to me.
Choked yesterday, never thought it would happen to me. Thank God for my sister and brother
I'm obsessed with boiled sweets so this is quite a worry for me
Everyone must learn to do the "Heimlich manoeuvre"
Today when me and my mom were sitting she suddenly choked on carrot and she had problems of breathing and we treated that with the help of this video thank you saved my mom and my porpose if living
Lately the only thing i think is chokong and not breathing, so i try eating very slowly to prevent it and sometimes even taking small bites
stop to dial 911 while you're choking before you start self heimlich?
Yes, dial 911 first. It only takes a second. Your brain can survive for a few minutes without oxygen so you have the time to dial 911. That’s in case your attempt to do the Heimlich maneuver on yourself is unsuccessful and they have to trace your call to come and rescue you.
I have Schatzki's ring--- a condition that constricts the esophagus. Sometimes you can make it until the EMTs arrive. In some chocking events you cannot. So it could be life-saving to know how to do a Heimlich on yourself.
No teeth, Just had a hard candy nearly slide down the wrong pipe... I thought to myself. I should probably make sure I know how to self Heimlich
scary, I had heard what to do if you are alone, I was cleaning my house once, and had one of those round Bick lighters in my mouth chewing on it...(dumb).. the bottom popped off and went into my wind pipe, i was scared because I didn't want to breath in and make it worse, But remembered the class said to back up to the wall and hit right at bottom of rib cage, it was round, about the size of a dime, it popped out.
I was soooo relieved, and always think of what I put in my mouth now. so those clases or videos are definitely worth the watch!
Bro imagine you didnt have youtube premium and you were actually choking 😅

thanks madame. i choked with biscuits and it was no joke. very scarry. luckily it melted and broke after few strong coughs.
Got a steak stuck in my mouth moments ago, I managed to get it out but at least I know if it happens next time, I know what to do.(I hope never)
i had to do this a couple of years ago when i choked on a donut hole by myself in my kitchen. it was completely obstructing my airway, i could not breathe or cough or talk, it was one of the most terrifying moments of my life. i thrust my abdomen up against the kitchen counter and the donut finally shot out, and then my fuckin dog ate it LOL. i ran outside to tell my dad who was in his car on a conference call and he didn’t react with as much alarm as i was expecting but of course i wasn’t choking anymore
Happened to me in a casino restaurant I put my hand down my throat and pulled it out.
I inhaled something small and it got stuck months ago just coughed it out now thought wtf do I do i live alone if I actually choke 😭
Does this work fam
Could you skip the intro and get straight to what to do?! There are people choking while waiting for you to finish your intro 🤦♂️
yes right? Let the branding and marketing to be done at the end...
The point is that you should ALREADY be prepared before these emergency situations. It’s pretty stupid if you’re looking up a video on how to stop yourself choking, while you’re choking, and you’re not already prepared PRIOR to the actual emergency. You should be prepared already.
If your choking on bread you need to get to fingers middle finger pointer finger and put it in your mouth and find the bread and FORCE IT IN

Oh my God, how scary.
Matter of fact why is it usually steak because I've had a choking experience with steak as well?!
Go vegan
Steaks a pretty rough meat to chew I’ve had multiple times in my life where I chew steaks and swallow but it gets stuck in the back of my mouth, luckily it wasn’t enough to obstruct my throat and I was able to reach in there with my fingers and pull it out
Veganism is a disease. And you harm more animals and the environment btw. Do some research and educate yourself.
what if you're a kid
It’s the same thing. You find a chair or something similar, and perform what she showed in the video. Push your belly into the chair until you stop choking.
wtf is sit up?
Sit upright? Don't slouch?
Sit upright. Be seated upright. Don’t be eating while laying down.
Me watching this while currently chocking
hardcore.
Riiiiight
