No, the physical health effects are that you would be fried to a crisp by particles you hit en route, or assuming empty space, the blue-shifted cosmic background radiation when you get close enough to c. The general problem with going fast is that you are heading into a high-energy particle beam in the direction of travel, and will be cooked alive in far less time than it takes to philosophize about the meaning of life.

That's a really good point! In some way my question is related, but it's about the "redshifting" of processes (in the sense of dilating their frequency spectrum) that very deep parts of us may be dependent on to keep sense of time.

I might be wrong, but doesn’t theory of relativity prove that we won’t feel a difference?
