Heimlich: In an emergency situation, if you are alone, leaning your upper abdomen above the navel forcefully against an object like a chair or table in an upward direction can provide a similar result. Or better still, you can use your fist against the upper abdomen between the rib cage and navel and then push upward quickly with your other hand on top of your fist.

Yes : There is a very good illustrated guide to performing the heimlich on yourself. It is at wiki how.com. Just Google “performing the Heimlichmaneuver on yourself” and choose the wikiHow option. It is excellent and I have no further ideas to add. Hope you never have to use it!
