What Causes Dizziness With Particular Food Items?

After eating garlic salt that day or the next day, I get very dizzy. I'm iron-deficiency anemic and when I felt the dizziness I had my blood pressure checked and it was 111/89. My blood pressure is usually below 120. Why am I dizzy from garlic salt? I love eating raw garlic in food. I'm 39, 5' 5 1/2" tall and weigh 230 lbs. Wife and mom.
