I have mains pressure water and a storage heater, but it never runs out of hot water so I think it can also heat continuously (unless I just don't use that much!).
I turn on the shower to warm it up and within about 10 seconds the pressure drops and I have to turn it up. Then every few minutes the same thing will happen but to a lesser extent. It's usually only the hot water, the cold is usually fine.
What would cause this and what should I do about it? Or is it normal?

I live in a house so there's noone sharing.

check to make sure the valve for the hot water tank is open all the way sounds like and obstruction in the water inlet of the hot water tank

Do you live in an apartment and share the hot water heater?
That's the only reason I know that you'd lose pressure; someone else is using the hot water at the same time.

think ofyou've got a three/4 inch line feeding your bathe. if so, the nice and cozy water has to push out a higher volume of chilly, or luke warmth water in the previous the nice and cozy water reaches the tap. is it a bath/bathe? if in trouble-free terms a bath, the nice and cozy water travels added up the riser to the showerhead. there is dissimilar possibilities.
