Default oil pressure problem or so i think

i just noticed lately that when my car warms up that the oil pressure gauge acts funny, not haha funny more like what the hell funny. when i start it up its around 50 to 60 psi if not alittle more, but after awhile and sittin in traffic i notice that the pressure goes down to 25 to 30 psi but as soon as i get on it back to 40-45 psi. i dont think my oil pump is out b/c no problem starting or actin like its gonna die and no strange noise from the engine. i think its the oil pump sendin unit, but need some advice about this, just got my oil changed and new oil filter also.
