being dramatic
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Stand behind the person who’s choking. Place your arms around their waist and bend them forward. Clench 1 fist and place it right above their belly button. Put the other hand on top of your fist and pull sharply inwards and upwards.

Detailed explanation-2: -If they are still choking, give up to 5 abdominal thrusts: hold around the waist and pull inwards and upwards above their belly button. Abdominal thrusts squeeze the air out of the lungs and may dislodge the blockage. 4. If they are still choking call 999.

Detailed explanation-3: -Abdominal thrusts lift the diaphragm. They force enough air from the lungs to create an artificial cough. This cough helps move air through the windpipe, pushing and expelling the obstruction out of the airway and mouth: Reach around the person’s waist.

Detailed explanation-4: -Strike five separate times between the person’s shoulder blades with the heel of your hand. Give five abdominal thrusts. If back blows don’t remove the stuck object, give five abdominal thrusts, also known as the Heimlich maneuver. Alternate between five blows and five thrusts until the blockage is dislodged.
