Hi @CEB32,
I'm so sorry, that must have been terrifying! Have you been able to talk to any medical professionals about tips for these situations? -
Hi @CEB32
Welcome to the community, there are some tips on choking here on the NHS website.
It must have been really frightening for you!! I will ask on social media if anyone else has any tips for you.Scope
