the person would be holding there throat. Preform abdominal thrusts. \n Stand behind the person withone foot between the persons legs.\n Place the thumb side of the fist against the middle of the persons abdomen, just above the navel.\n  Grab your fist with the other hand.\n  Give quick upwads thrusts.

Progressively the person find difficulties to breath, when in the stage of sound like a whistle when sleeping is already advanced after that is short of breath and therefore death..☺

lt sounds like an Allergic Rhinitis/Sinusitis.\nThe breathlessness when talking could be as a result of being on antihistamines and steroids (cetrinizine and rhinocortisone) for a prolonged period of time.\nSee an E.N.T.Specialist.You may need an injection of depo-medrol and/or a Maxillary sinus wash-out.

maybe some adhesions.  That would be my only guess as to a pulling sensation.

There is no direct relationship. The Heimlich maneuver is a resuscitative measure used to dislodge  a trapped bolus of food from the nasopharnyx or the epiglottis or the trachea. It is a stretch of the imagination for some one to swallow a big chunk of food, nearly strangle, have a friend do a Heimlich's for the victim to grunt. The only vague correlation is the expulsive force that would vibrate the vocal cords and that is very tenuous at best. At best guess, first animal noises were hisses, that were expulsive breaths, and then the resonance of the larynx and sinuses and the articulation of the tongue and later in higher animals the curvature of the lips, face and tongue. While your teacher may have a valid idea, I see none. The diaphragm located beneath the lungs is a sheet of muscle transecting the body and during the Heimlich's maneuver, we can a violent expulsion of breath and the piece of food is dislodged, but again including the diaphragm, the relationship is tenuous because the simple act of breathing in all mammals requires much the same and would not by itself evolve into speech....it is control of the diaphragm that allows us a variety of sounds, so the two are unrelated.

could be that he is swallowing large amounts of air when he drinks. Try having him sip the drinks instead of gulping. I would take him to the doctor and have him checked out just to be safe!

Syncope is the medical term for "passing out" or "fainting". I assume this could be related to that word.

Well you did not describe what you do during these fights, since they are not physical, do you do a lot of screaming and heavy breathing? If so it may be that you have thoracic outlet syndrome. This is a general condition that affects the brachial plexus or the group of nerves that enters the arm. These nerves go between muscles in the neck, and go behind the collarbone in order to from the spine to the arm. In this condition your movements, or heavy breathing, and increased intra-thoracic pressure from screaming and breathing is pinching the nerves as they go from the neck to the arm. This is not an uncommon condition. If it progresses to where you feel numbness when you are not fighting but relaxing, you may want to have your neck checked for a disc problem. And if you keep fighting, you may want to seek profession counseling.

OK OK OK... I've heard about the sitting up part, but not the screaming part!  I do not remember my source, but I have read that it is possible for a body to "sit up" during cremation.  I'm sure I've read it in a book concerning forensic science, the body farm, or something similar.. I'll have to think on that!  When I remember, I will look it up and let you know what causes it.

Hanging, when done 'correctly', causes a fracture of the 2nd cervical vertebra.  This is literally called a "Hangman's Fracture".  The fractured vertebra severs the spinal cord.  This instantly disrupts nervous system control of respiration (paralysis of the diaphragm and accessory breathing muscles) and thus causes rapid asphyxiation.\n\nNote: if the hanging is done 'poorly', the vertebra does not fracture and the person slowly, often very slowly, chokes to death.  If you are to be 'hung', hope for an experienced and competent hangman!\n\nBest wishes.

spitting swallowing and gargeling i think

You should definitely see your GP to rule out anything sinister. But try not to worry - that sounds like a classic anxiety symptom to me.\n\nI get that sometimes, and it's extremely unpleasant and really feels like you're about to choke. You won't though, promise.

A sudden contraction or spasm of the diaphragm and the muscles between the ribs makes you inhale quickly and involuntarily. It ends with "glottic closure" — the space in the throat near the vocal cords snaps shut, producing the typical sound. In most cases, only one of the two sides of the diaphragm is involved; it is left-sided in 80% of cases. \nMost likely hiccups are a reflex. Nerves inside the chest send signals to the diaphragm and muscles between the ribs to spontaneously contract during normal breathing. This "hiccup reflex" may be set off by many triggers, including:\n\nEmotional stress or excitement \nStretching of the stomach, as may occur after overeating, drinking carbonated beverages, or swallowing air \nAbrupt changes in the temperature (as with drinking a hot beverage) \nAlcohol binging \nSmoking

glottis controls air to & from mouth &  lungs (first link)\n\nOk this 2nd link has a picture that you might feel as gross but it might help.

Yes, they make breathing motions, crying motions, swallowing, sucking, etc.\n\nThey can't make the sound because sound is caused by the vibration of vocal cords as air passed over them.  There is no air in the respiratory system yet so they can't make a noise.
