If other people are nearby, they cannot pass a stool. They shy away from warm rooms, music or other background noise. Ambergris patients feel relieved when they are as alone as possible outdoors and can move freely there. Patients complain of a permanent feeling of heaviness in the head and tend to have an unsteady gait. Men are easily sexually aroused. Women react to unfamiliar external stimuli with spontaneous uterine bleeding. The overall symptomatology is noticeably more pronounced in the elderly than in young patients.
