When the person around you, especially when you are having food together, suddenly finds it difficult to breathe then you need to act smart and understand that he or she has choked over food.

The person may gasp for breath, get motionless after a few seconds, will have noisy breathing and may turn pale. The person can’t speak, cough or breathe due to choking.

If you see someone lying unconscious, then do not rule out the chances of choking.
