car dies at quick stop when a/c is on

Like the title says my car dies when I have to brake fast to a dead stop when the a/c is on . anyone ever have this experience ? what could I do to fix it ? I have had a full tune on it already. I just started using my a/c recently for the 1st time this summer and noticed that when on the car idles funny,shakes more than usual. is there something specifically I can tell the tuner? any help in this matter would be appriciated...

If it was the first time using the A/C, it may be a simple matter of the idle trims having not learned since the tune. Drive around for a little while with the a/c on and I have a suspicion that it will improve on its own, otherwise take it back and have them fix it.
