What are the signs of choking?

Answer 1

The universal sign is someone who has their hands at their throats. Other signs are an inability to breath or make sounds because the windpipe is blocked off. Or there may be some wheezing sounds because the windpipe is partially blocked.

Answer 2

If an adult is choking, you may observe the following behaviors:

1) Coughing or gagging

2) Hand signals and panic (sometimes pointing to the throat)

3) Sudden inability to talk

4) Clutching the throat: The natural response to choking is to grab the throat with one or both hands. This is the universal choking sign and a way of telling people around you that you are choking.

5) Wheezing

6) Passing out

7) Turning blue: Cyanosis, a blue coloring to the skin, can be seen earliest around the face, lips, and fingernail beds. You may see this, but other critical choking signs would appear first.
