I was sitting watching tv when it felt like I breathed wrong and then I could not breath at all. I could not breath in or out. I could not talk. It was like I had something blocking my airway but I wasn t eating anything. I did the heimlich maneuver on myself which expelled air and I was able to catch my breath and start breathing again. There have been similar times this has happened but usually I start choking and cough and my breathing starts again. What could cause this?
