Bloody hell, this sounds scarey. You have my sympathy. But before you jump to the conclusion that you've a blockage somewhere just double check the oil level is ok.
On mine the level seems to influency tapping more than anything else.
Having said that, with a noticeable increase in oil pressure and the suspicion of wayward tissues it does sound like trouble. I guess you could start by making sure all the externally accessible orifices are clear. Maybe look in the oil pressure relief valve, the filter, the oil pressure sender, the dry sump pipes (mine have little mesh filters in), the sump. Then check the oil ways in the head that feed the cams (you'll have to remove the cams for this)
Can't think of anything else.
Good luck
