I came home today to find that my 7 year old Suriname Red-Tail threw up his food that he ate 4 days ago and he was laying on his side weak and full of air. Any ideas?

Hey man, sorry to hear about your situation!! Sick snakes are never fun!! Im not on here often and there are MANY more knowledgeable people on here but some basic questions I can that would help anyone take a guess without seeing him are:
What type/size of caging do you have? What type of Heat source? At what temperature? What did you feed him? Was it live,fresh killed, or frozen? Does he always eat this meal? How often? How long has he been sick? Whats he doing now? Basically, the more information you can provide that could somehow relate to this whole situation, the better! Like I said.. its just my opinion, but I think it would help anyone look at this situation with a better perspective!! Good luck with your lil man!!
