What causes vibrating when braking at high speeds?

Possibly warped rotors, loose wheel bearing, or a defect in a tire. Inspect your tires carefully, looking for bulges, or any other abnormality. If you find none, then you will need to check the wheel for looseness, and if it is not loose, then have the rotors removed and turned. Replace the front pads at this time. I would suspect you will find the rotors are warped. When replacing the wheel after service, be sure and tighten the lugs nuts to the proper torque, (found in you owner's manual). Tighten to tight and the rotors will warp again.

I have a 1993 buick century that when you are coming to a stop it chugs i took it into Midas and they said i have a bad head gasket Or could it be something with my brakes?
White or blue smoke, and oil in the coolant are two fairly reliable signs of a blown head gasket or crack in the block or head. If it was the brakes (warped rotors also cause vibration), you would feel it vibrating faster at high speeds with light braking, and slower at lower speeds.
