There are around 3,000 to 5,000 people who die from choking each and every year.
Out of those 5,000 or more people who die from choking around 2,848 of those people who died from choking were 74 years or older.
Several kids may die from choking and even toddlers, teens etc.
Most people who do choke do survive but it's important to get the food or other object dislodged in a timely manner.
If you're alone and are choking by yourself and have no help you should first call 911 immediately when you begin choking if possible.
Then as you call 911 start doing abdominal thrusts on yourself.
The abdominal thrusts can usually remove the food or whatever it is that is lodged in your throat.
You can also do the Heimlich Maneuver on yourself by using your fist, a chair, pole, table etc.
To perform the Heimlich Maneuver on yourself start by making a fist and placing it on your abdomen between your navel and your ribcage.
Then, hold your fist with your other hand and drive it inward and upward, using a j-shaped motion.
Repeat this multiple times until the food is dislodged.
