Q: os x partition disappeared

Hello, I am using a late 2013 IMac with a intel i5-4570R @ 2.7Ghz, 8GB of ram and a 1tb apple mechanical hard drive.

 

I created a boot camp partition for windows 7 of around 230GB on my Mac, I followed all the instructions and set it up successfully. However, I realised quickly that I needed a bit more space, so I used a paragon partition manager to increase the size of the windows partition to 300GB (now I know this isn't the right way to do it, I should of found the proper way to avoid this). It all worked fine until I wanted to switch back to os x Yosemite, boot camp manager didn't recognise any other partition except for the windows one. All of the Yosemite files are still there but I cannot boot into them, I've tried booting into safe mode but it doesn't work; booting up windows instead.

 

Is there anything I can do?

iMac, Windows 7, Now it's running windows 10
