Sounds to me like possibly your chain may have dull cutters on one side (like you hit stone or metal) and it only affected cutters on one side of the chain....also maybe your oiler hole is clogged? Happened to me many times over the years......
Have you ever had the bar "dressed"? From time to time, the rails need re-ground, they can "mushroom" on you, making it a lot harder to cut in general. It's possible that they may need dressed.....I have had the same bar for years...though i dont do a great deal of cutting...
Maybe i need a new one?
Thanks Scotty......tell me what "dressed" entails?
Something i can do myself or does it need to be taken in to the dealer?
no problem, i was going to try and tell you how i do it but thought a video is worth a million words.Thank you scotvl!

I just use a large flat file and go at it flat on my work bench.
To much pressure or possibly hand placement? Body placement?
I cut to the right, until I lined myself up behind the saw and let it do the work.
Pushing to hard will cause it?
