I did I was having major tighteningds thou, but it's not always the case with my other soon I had nothing x

Driving after a sweep should be fine. If you find the whole thing was a bit too much you could probably take a seat in the general reception area of the hospital for a couple of minutes but im sure it'll be fine to drive a vehicle afterwards.
