Hello and welcome to HCM,
Spinning of head with eyes closed and open suggests abnormality of the inner ear.
Inner ear is concerned with maintenance of balance and equilibrium.
Thus, abnormalities of the inner ear- trauma, infections, etc can lead to disorders of balance and can lead to spinning of head.
You need to consult an ENT specialist for clinical assessment and relevant investigations for further management.
Thanks and take care
