Hi. I am a 42 y old wife n mom w chronic migraine, asthma and GERD. A few days ago, I swallowed a VERY small sip of room temp water "the wrong way" (aspirated water into my lungs) and began choking violently. I began coughing purposefully, trying to clear the airway, to no avail. The airway con't to close tighter and tighter. My chest began making a horrid noise. Fam members rushed in and began to give me the Heimlich maneuver. After having the Heimlich 4 times, I'm still not getting air. Finally, a tiny amount gets thru, enough for me to exhale. Slowly, I recover from the incident - at least physically. I am still traumatized, though so thankful. Has anyone else ever exp this?View Thread
