Brief Answer:
Visit ER, Investigations and clinical evaluation

Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thank for your query, albeit short and specific.
To recapitulate: Female/75 - terrible stomach pain - can not remember to have such a pain till now - can't get comfortable - vomiting just flem - and feels it to be due to not eaten today - taken a couple of tums - wants to know quick fix ...

Such a terrible pain for the first time in life with vomiting, seemingly not relieved by tums indicates that you need the following:
Clinical evaluation by a Doctor, preferably a General Surgeon.
May need medicines in the form of injections as oral tablets/capsules will be vomited out becoming ineffective.
Urgent investigations:
EKG
X-ray of the abdomen in standing position
Ultrasonography
Tests of blood, urine and stool
Hence need to visit ER.

To re-emphasize, the oral medicines for pain and vomiting may not be effective if the vomiting continues.

I hope this answer helps you.
