A member asked:
In case if choking on food, is it better to look up towards roof and cough or is it better to bend neck and look down and cough to get food out?

Interesting question. Better wait for an ENT to give an opinion. Remember the universal sign is to grab your neck and point when you are choking as you will not be able to talk. Then someone can do the Heimlich maneuver. If you have problem a lot ask ur Dr why and be certain all you dine with know how. I have heard of people pushing Xiphoid process against table when alone and living.
