I was eating beef this lunch and i accidentally swallow big piece of it and all of sudden i was choked. I was like shaking with fear because i can't swallow it and it was in throat and i cant get it out. I was shouting without voice when my mom saw me, so she try to hit in my shoulder, then the beef get out of my mouth. After that experience, i was shaking with fear and from then on i said to myself i will never eat beef again. After like 5 hours we were laughing and my mom said i didnt die of accident but with choking. But still i decided not eat beef again. Did you experienced this?

One time i was in a room with my fiance and my brother. I was eating sweet cherries which is a type of candy that I just love. We were all joking around and I was laughing. Next thing I know candy went down my throat. I started choking and it happens oh so fast. YOu really dont know what to do cause you panick. My fiance luckily knew the hamlic maneuver and I didn't know he knew it but he grabbed me up and did it. The piece obviously went down but he saved me.

its not a good experience that you really want to forget it. Its like your dying and you cannot do anything about it unless your with someone. I've learned my lesson, i will never eat a big portion of any food.

it is obviously that everyone of us have made at least 1 choking in their life.Choking can be very dangerous and everyone should be very carefully when eating or drinking.

i believe yes, that everyone of us experience that and just hoping that we will never experience it again. And ive learned my lesson, never to put big portion of any food in the mouth. and we really have to know what we will do if ever it will happen again.
