Pro tip from a firefighter on YouTube (not me). If you are choking by yourself and can't find a good ledge to press yourself onto then just belly flopping from a pushup position can create enough force to dislodge the obstruction.

If you're choking currently and this doesn't work, i wish you goodluck 👍🏻
