Brief Answer:

Hi and welcome.

It looks like gastritis or gallbladder attack and this is best managed with dietary changes. Coffee and smoking should be completely avoided. It should imrove within few hours on these measure. If not, or if vomit and fever occur, you should see doctor and do lab and endoscopic tests which include gastroscopy or barium swallow test.
