A DIY Heimlich Maneuver for Emergencies

It’s important to know how to perform basic first aid on yourself in case of an emergency. Choking on food is a common occurrence, and if you ever find yourself alone and in need of assistance, you can perform the Heimlich maneuver on yourself using a chair or countertop. 

By pressing on the right spot under your rib cage, you can dislodge any food that may be stuck in your throat and save yourself from a potentially life-threatening situation.
