Say for example you are eating alone, what do you do if you start choking on your food? Is there a way of performing an unassisted Heimlich manoeuvre?

This is directly from my First Aid & CPR textbook:\n\nA responsive choking victim who is alone can self-administer abdominal thrusts. The victim places the thumb of a closed fist just above his navel, covers the fist with the other hand, then gives inward and upward thrusts. \n\nAlso, if a firm object such as a chair or table is availabe, the victim can lean over the back of the chair or corner of the table, pressing the abdomen upward and inward.\n\nForcing yourself to cough (unless it hurts) is also a good idea.

yes it can be done as long as the person doing does not have the gag reflex like their going to puke.

first of all, food poinsoning is from eating a contaminated food.  Hopefully you are not taking bites from down there.  So to change the question to can you get sick or "poisoning" from performing oral sex on someone?  \n\nIn reality...if someone wasn't clean enough you could.  feces ect. from the area could cause illness.  Lets hope that you never come across someone with hygeine issues to that degree.\n\nI would actually worry more about the bacteria in someone's mouth....and really chalk it up to no...permorming oral sex should not give your body any kind of "poinsoning".

First of all, people really DO turn blue when they're choking. If they are NOT coughing, then you should help. If they are coughing, they are just fine. Let them cough it up. I would perform the Heimlich Maneuver. Read about it online and take a first aid class. It's very easy to perform and works quite well. It can even be used on newborns.

The best thing is to control your apetite. Sometimes when you sit and eat you dont realise how much youve eaten until you get up. So get up and walk a few steps and dont keep eating alot. But if you have to vomit, then hold 2 fingers together and stick them deep in your mouth in your throat until you get a vomiting sensation and it will come out.

very interesting...i think that if your head got severed off, you would stop vomiting immediately because your body obviously has bigger issues to deal with now.  i guess it's kinda like when your hiccups magically go away when someone scares you, or when you forget about them.  it's an uncontrollable bodily function that i think can be "side-tracked away."  wish we could test this one...send it in to Mythbusters...

It's like a child holding his breath until he gets what he wants. But neither method works. When the child holds his breath long enough, he passes out and then he breathes. The terrorist stops eating until he dies. So the problem is solved either way in both situations.

Don't stick your finger down your throat and it won't bleed.\nvegetables and fruits without dressings that contain fat.\nSkim milk and fat free yogurt.\nlean meat and fish\ndon't eat chicken skin that's where the fat is.\nUse 95% lean or leaner meat.  Even hamburger Helper is low fat with lean meat.\nDon't stick your finger down your throat eat sensibly and exercise and you'll look beautiful and feel healthy.\nYou need fuel to burn or your body will consume its parts.

*** dad always used to tell me "eat a piece of bread" if you had a fishbone or anything stuck in your throat...just a dry piece of bread.  not sure i ever did it...i hated bread...but it's worth a shot...i spose.

Sorry I do not think I could handle the swallowing part

your body is already eating itself when you starve.  you may as well just not take off limbs because you can't get those back when you stop starving.

You cant suffocate yourself by holding your breath or putting you hand over your mouth/nose. Your body has a built in survival instinct. However , if you use something over your head you just might suffocate. That is why they put warnings on things such as plastic bags that say they are not a toy.\n\nMessing with breathing is dangerous. At the least if you have no oxygen for several minutes you will suffer brain damage.

Hold it between your two index fingers & your two thumbs & separate your hands.\n\nNOTE: This does not work with sporks. DO NOT ATTEMPT WITH A SPORK!!!! You will set off a dangerous chain of events.

i would say the best answer you going to get online is go see a professional.. i think they actually have medication for that that helps  the muscles relax so that you can eat and do whatever your normally use to without having the urge to vomit

In my opinion, if you had a guillotine choke on the ground, and the one who is performing it also locked his feet on you, there's no way but to tap out.\n\nOn standing position, it is much easier than as of the ground but still, you need a lot of breathing control to do. But still I have no idea.\n\nGracie Jiu-Jitsu have answers to it so ask some professional trainers on that discipline.

I've done this forever.  There are many people that do it.  It's a condition though I cannot remember the name off hand.  I'm not aware of any suppliments to keep that from happening.  You'll need to ask your doctor about it.\n\nI had a "quarter" dish on the kitchen counter next to a bad of oreos.  I was eating oreos and quarters and didn't know it until I tried to swallow the quarters and couldn't and woke myself up.
