technique to stop choking

[Cynda]

Here's a helpful tip. My niece who is a nurse anesthisist taught me to stop the awful choking problem by using a finger, pressing it into the depression that is just behind the ear lobe, at the top of the jaw line. I had told my neurologist about this technique, and when I was in his office last week he saw first hand how well it works.

It also helps to tuck your chin down while you are swallowing.

I hunch forward head between my knees and it seems to stop it.
