Hello,
Welcome to Health Care Magic.
Thanks for choosing this forum for posting your question.
I am Dr Alok Sinha, MD (Psychiatry) from India.
We understand your concern.
I will try to help you.

Firstly any psychiatric illness can not be diagnosed by reporting of few symptoms on telephone. As if it would have happened, then many of the persons would have been awarded psychiatric diagnosis unnecessarily.

You appear to have suffered from muscle stiffness due to prolonged maintenance of same posture for hours during highway driving. Dehydration/electrolyte imbalance may predispose a person to this illness. It can be relieved with rest, taking water and ORS and temporary use of some muscle relaxants.

You have full right to get yourself examined and interviewed by a psychiatrist/neurologist for expert opinion. You may approach to ministry of transport with the opinion. Hopefully this may help you in getting your licence back.
I wish you all the best.
