Everyone at  some time has been held by this strong force, fear, that destabilizes or incarcerates a person. From my conviction, fear is one of the worst things in life, because it can be ferocious stumbling block. Why would anyone be afraid?...Surprisingly as it may sound, we may have fears of failure, fears of success, fear of diving, fear of flying, fear of handling money and so on.

However, I have recently gained knowledge on how to perform first aid for choking victims and I would like to share it with others. Chances are, we have all either encountered someone who was choking or have experienced it ourselves. Why do we choke?   A victim is choking when the airway is obstructed either partially or fully. This can result from food or other foreign bodies in the mouth; the tongue (in an unresponsive victim) & the teeth.
