I normally advocate not living alone (slip-and-falls are also a concern; only god can help you if you have a stroke), but if you insist, take the Red Cross CPR class.
It's cheap/free, a few hours long, will teach you how to resuscitate anything, and most importantly...how to perform the Heimlich on yourself.
