Why Does My Heart Rate Go Up While Running In The Gym?

Hi. On occasion, while running at the gym, my heart rate goes from 140ish to over 200 and remains that way for a minute or 2. I ve read that coughing gets the heart back to a normal rate. I ve tried it, and it seemed to work, but perhaps it s just be coincidence. Does it work?
