Your friend seems to be emotionally disturbed which is why he is experiencing these symptoms. He may not actually have heart disease but to ascertain this, please seek professional help. A psychotherapist will be able to assist him with his fears and a cardiologist to confirm and treat whether he does really have heart disease.

Since your friend seems to be facing a great deal of stress in life, ask him to practice stress management techniques and learn to relax. Stress can worsen his heart problems (if he does have any) or possibly cause heart or other health problems if there is consistent stress and if he doesn’t develop ways to deal with it.

These tips will surely help him:

Regarding food or supplement, it is best to have a balanced diet and make sure he eats wholesome meals.

Avoid irregular eating, binge eating, oily or fried foods, snacking on junk foods or using food as a resort to relieve distress. Unless the real thing is identified, it makes no sense taking any supplement.

More Tips for dealing with stress

Meditate: Practice pranayam or breathing exercises daily to relax mentally and physically. Do this for 10 mins at least twice a day.
Do not worry about things which are beyond your control. Always keep a positive attitude, this can take you places.
Perceive change as positive, not a threat.
Work hard and prepare to the best your ability for stressful events, e.g. a job interview
Make efforts to resolve conflicts with other people calmly and in a matured way.
Seek help whenever required from friends, family or professionals.
Exercise on a regular basis.
Get enough sleep.
Anger management for things beyond your control is very essential. Realize that anger does more harm than good. Accept reality and move on to progress in life.
