I have two separate things which are not easily cured, and neither is understood particularly well.
He is right. If it is a panic disorder brain thing (i have no idea) exercise is going to do little to help right now. In fact, if we are dealing with panic disorder all exercise is going to do is increase heart rate and potentially create new panic attacks. The problem needs to be fixed and then you can add in all these other things. I used to get rolling panic attacks. It was like a bad drug trip. You would feel as if you were dying and then it would sort of go away only to come back. If this is what he is going through you basically cant do anything.

NO supplement is going to help cure it but supplements can help to not make it worse. For example, potassium , magnesium and a B and K multivitamin. Especially since it doesn't sound as if you are eating much.
Uh... No, it won’t. In fact, it typically has the opposite effect over the long run.

Exercise helps curb panic disorder symptoms

Hovland has also studied how so-called heart-rate variability is associated with the way the brain treats inputs among patients with panic disorder.

“It’s well known that patients with panic disorder have less heart-rate variability than normal.”

“Pulse rates will normally vary from one situation to another, for instance when we are at rest compared to when we are excited. But for people with panic disorder, the heart rate changes less and is generally higher than normal per minute,” explains Hovland.

This appears to raise the risk of developing cardiovascular disease. If patients develop heart problems, it also has a negative effect.

Hovland says that physical activity increases heart-rate variability and has a positive effect on the brain, such as the way the brain regulates our attention.
