Acute pain and swelling bilateral shoulders that disappeared in 3 days

Shoulder pain that moves from shoulder to shoulder could be a sign of cardiac issues especially when accompanied by nausea. Without scaring him you might help him get to a cardiologist. At 69 it would be sensible to have a thorough exam even without symptoms.
I'd say it's safer not to guess.

Thank you, I thought the same also. I'm going to get the story again from him this week and see if I can suggest a follow up with his doctor. I don't think he will go to a cardiologist without seeing his PCP first. Usually cardiologists want a patient to be seen by the PCP first as the PCP knows the patient best, and the PCP then makes the initial diagnosis and gets some initial tests done. If there's anything abnormal, he will then recommend the patient sees a specialist.
