What would happen if you found your mother unconscious and could not 
detect signs of breathing? How could you tell if she was alive?

Not if you do it to yourself. If you lost consciousness (unlikely if you

is called throttling, a choke cuts off the air supply and strangling is 
a combination of both (British definition).
