To perform abdominal thrusts (Heimlich maneuver) on yourself: First, if you're alone and choking, call 911 or your local emergency number immediately.

1. Give 5 back blows.

2.Give 5 abdominal thrusts.

3.Alternate between 5 blows and 5 thrusts until the blockage is dislodged.

Hope this help you out have a marvels day :)
