Loss of balance whenever eyes are closed. is this normal please?

No: Balance is maintained with proprioception, vestibular function and vision. When eyes closed, other 2 should help maintain balance. But the above problem tells, you may have proprioception related problem. Proprioception is one's ability to know one's body in space. This is a neurology problem.

Nope: A young healthy person should not suffer from this. Go to neurologist.
