An RGI should be able to check the gas pressures.

Have you had an appliance added recently

10 years is nothing, and there's no guarantee a new one will be ok.

A good RGI would do a test on the gas and give it a service.

Could be a faulty gas meter governor, without testing you'll be wasting your time and money.
