Some thoughts.
I have a Hayward pump. The other day my gauge jumped a gear inside and suddenly my pressure went up 5 psi from 15 to 20. After I backwashed, I saw it didn't drop and opened the gauge and saw the problem.
What kind of filter do you have? If you have one with filter cloth, like DE, a torn or damaged filter cloth could cause a drop in pressure.
Is filter flow better or worse than normal?
If flow is lower, there may be something stuck in the hoses, pump suction, impellar, pump discharge or discharge hoses or even filter valve.
These are some areas to check, pretty much in order of likelyhood.
