How to deal with overwhelming feelings of anxiety?

I started a temporary job yesterday which requires me to first take a train then a bus. Whilst on the train, my heart rate increases, my palms become increasingly sweaty and I feel a numb/tingly feeling in my chest. I don't know what it is. It feels like excitement but it's out of fear. I tell myself that I shouldn't be anxious about getting on the bus and that everything will be okay, but these physical symptoms don't go away. Any help?
