My husband just recovered from dengue. While he had dengue his blood count was 102 and he wasn’t hospitalized but after he recovered from dengue, he noticed his chest feels tight and occasionally pain which also affected his daily jog. Could the heart problem be linked to dengue?

You mean platelet count 102, that's not bad for dengue, very good! However, any viral illness can put a strain on the heart and after the 7 days of dengue he really should rest (no strenuous exercise, just walking) for another 3-4 weeks, while the body recovers. If in doubt definitely get assessed by your GP who will be able to advise on the next steps if required.
